Thanks for all of info Scott. If you already have some mods like exhaust, link pipes, and headers will the tune give you gains above what is listed or should all fhe mods plus tune together top out to the advertised 346/440?

Any way of tuning the auto-rev match out of the GTS sport and sport plus modes?

Scott, is the valve control function just software or is there hardware like the Soul/Cargraphic valve controllers?

ECU flash.

Sounds like the exhaust question was never answered. Does the PSE in off mode still open the valves in the upper rpm ranges or do they stay closed completely?

Yes, the valves still open in upper RPMs regardless of PSE position after Softronics tune.

The previous messages have been deleted since they dif not contribute to this thread, nor did they convey anything about the Softronic tune, which IMO is a great product that really wakes the car up and is highly recommended.

Just put the Softronic tune on my GTS last night and have done some ordinary and spirited driving (maybe 60 miles). I have Kline exhaust, link pipes, and headers on which I feel gives a pretty significant boost from stock already. I have a valve controller so I didn't opt for that option. I did need help with removing CEL associated with headers, an 8200 rpm redline, and defeating 3 cylinder activation and auto-start stop which the tune does perfectly. Extremely easy to order and install. The turn around time from when I emailed the stock file and received the tuned file was like 12 hours overnight. I feel a palpable addition of power but not dramatic which I was not expecting anyway with my current mods. I haven't dyno the car but 346/440 seems about right and I was probably within 5-7% of that before the tune. The car seems to rev easier and smoother and I don't feel I need to press down on the gas pedal as much when routinely accelerating probably due to the increased torque. Forceful acceleration is even more immediate and feels a bit more powerful as well. If you have a stock GTS the difference will probably be pretty significant. All in all I am very happy with Softronic, the tune, and the price of the product for what it offers.
