Default 2019 GT3RS Tuning

I'm hoping for some advice from members with more experience then myself. I have a 2019 GT3RS and wondering if their is any measurable gains adding a tune to my car? I have Soul performance side muffler deletes and BMC air filters. I was thinking about using Softronics for a tune. Any advice or suggestions would be great!

Thanks in advance!

Minimal, most gains will be had by freeing up the exhaust (mainly headers) and making it pretty loud. The BMC air filters are actually standard from the factory are they not?

It's a bit easier with a GT3 as that one has been pinched by the ECU to make a bit less than the RS.

I have the softtronic tune on my GT3 - very happy with it.

I have just fitted Dundon Street Manifolds with Cats and that certainly seems to have made quite a difference, without a tune.

I am sure you could then maximise the power increase with a custom tune????

my 2019 GT3RS has a M-Engineering ECU/TCU(PDK) tune. Engine gains in terms of hp's will also depend on the Map and fuel.
My ecu maps are 93 oct, 100 oct & MS109 fuel( only use for track events ). I haven't dyno my car yet, but in terms of performance, my car is much faster in the track vs other RS in our club.
M-Engineering tunes prices are higher than others, but their support & knowledge is the BEST!

They sure do - I had deposit on a chalk RS at a Porsche dealer - went in for CPO - was tuned and over-rev'ed - CPO declined / deal dead

Went in for CPO?. That’s not what I’m talking about, go trade a tuned Porsche to any Porsche dealer and tell me what they say.

Ok so your point is you can trick dealers into giving them back a car they presume is stock, but in fact has a tune on it that may later ruin the new owners day when they come out of pocket on a motor

Cool

Op, gains are going to be minimal on a NA, no point really. You'll get more out of getting a good set of headers, like Dundon with cats. Side muffler delete won't give you much, but swapping out stock headers will. Tune makes more sense on a turbo.
