Just sent in my datalogs. Was quite tricky to find a bit of closed circuit where one can safely reach 109mph four times of a Saturday morning, but hey I'm persistent

Haha yes, this was by far the toughest part, getting good clean 3rd gear pulls to redline to send in. But the result when you get the protune back is mighty good. Unbelievable difference

My favorite spot is a nice long on-ramp for the highway in the very early morning or late at night when no one is around

It's finally spring! Who's ready for a Protune so you'll enjoy the warm driving weather that much more?

Hello John. I recently purchased a 2014 981 Cayman S with 6,000 miles on her, all major options sans ceramic. Very interested in a tune. Can you direct me to where I might learn what improvements that your product will provide to my car that has no mods? This is a daily driver and will never see a track.

Hello! Apologies for the late response, it has been crazy over here getting ready for the driving season haha. Here is a link that will take you directly to our tuning page for the 981 so you can take a look at the Accessport. For the Protune, you'll still see a couple hp/tq and some improved throttle response over the standard maps included on the COBB Accessport, but it won't be as much of a transformation compared to the additional 10-15whp/tq we have seen when optimizing the potential of upgrades like our Race Headers.

And there was me wanting to leave my Spyder stock. Hmmm.

Can you give any details of if/how the sound of the car changed with the sport headers? My hesitation about modifying is basically that it sounds so darn perfect stock!

PS slightly off-topic but I have my street/track tune on the 911 now and it's very satisfactory indeed. Car has full system and BMC and now feels complete.

We have a bunch of videos on our Sport Header product page for you to take a listen to if that helps. Also, feel free to reach out to CAlexio as well as he loves the results of Sport Headers on his Spyder

Perfect! Glad to here the tuning has met your goals, although I didn't have any doubts haha

This is true, running cats (even high flow 200cell) restricts the peaks numbers enough prevent reaching those kind of numbers. The highest "peak" numbers we've seen with cats still on the car is about 370whp/420bhp
