Hey guys any of you running a tune on a gt4 or spyder.

what company did you go with? And what mods does your car have?

also what are your thoughts on the tunes you have done?

thanks

I went with APR because you can switch from 91, 93, E85, etc whenever you want. Haven't driven it yet since I flashed it so I will let you know if I like it soon.

I went with the Cobb Accessport product because I've used it on a previous Porsche. I'm thrilled with it, throttle response is improved and seat of the pants above 4k rpm's is crazy fast to 8k. The gains even at Stage 1 are easily discernible. I also have Flat 6 Motorsports OAP's, which I am big fan of. No dyno data on my part, sorry.

The problem with tunes is that you get used to it. You get only one first impression. On my 718 Spyder I did for the first time the hardware swap directly on delivery (catless headers+catback) and then (year++) the ecu programming + BMC filters
The other way around, drive the original car for a while, flash the ecu, drive the car for a while, swap some hardware, you'll notice the changes much more...
Does it matter the the end ?
No, but if would do it again, I would change the order of doing things.

didn’t measure it, seat of the pants feeling, may 460 total, jcr headers and catback alone promised more that 52 ponies extra, the tune added above may a few more.
Enough for illegal travelling or loss of traction when putting the pedal to the metal at 160 kmh or more when it’s wet.

What fo you seek for?
