I would love to see some 1/4 and trap speed numbers when you can!

I was about ask if the tune deletes CEL from catless pipes. Thanks!

Looks like a thumbs up on the M Engineering unit. Section starts around 9:20. Glad to see in the wild!

Get's boring. Reality is he can't tell without seeing the objective timing numbers. The car already pulls so hard, I don't see the point unless you plan to drag race the thing. This is Hellcat stuff, not what the 911 was built for.

The 911 Turbo is known for awesome straight line capabilities and is why many people opt for this model at these prices. The tuners can get you even more of the same and there is nothing wrong with that.
No one is forced to tune for additional power but many of do whether we "need it" or not.

I get all that, but this is an example of diminishing returns - if you can't tell the difference, what's the point? I would gladly tune my C2S, because I know I will feel the extra 100 hp and do so without traction issues or breaking the law by a large margin.

Power increases are most noticeable at triple digit speeds where aerodynamic drag is sapping hundreds of horsepower. I agree with you that at lower speeds traction becomes the issue so the extra power is "wasted".

You'll feel the before and after, that's for sure

Totally agree. Additionally, with how expensive these cars are, I would not risk a warranty issue to get a tune if it's difficult to tell the difference by feel. If I'm going to risk not having warranty on my motor that costs $50K+ to fix, the performance increase better feel worth the effort and risk.

With respect to 911s not being about drag racing, I would disagree a bit with that. I think since the 959 came out with its absurd 0-60 and 1/4 mile performance that was a couple of orders of magnitude better than its contemporaries at the time, then the AWD 993 turbo that came out with close to 959 performance, I think a segment of 911 turbo buyers enjoy the straight line speed aspect of these cars. Porsche knows this as well, hence the launch control that does an amazing job lauching these cars off the line for drag racing.

Does the software work with Mac OSX or only Windows?

The software was specifically designed to work on a Windows 10 computer. You may have luck running an emulator on a Mac, but we can't guarantee it.

Exclamation

Going to the website has this disclaimer

If you are not the end user of the car, you will be solely responsible for notifying the purchaser and/or customer they also accept the responsibility and risks of these and M Engineering is not liable. M Engineering is also not liable for voided warranties due to installation of our products.
While I understand the disclaimer, for the price asked $2500, there are a few question I think some of us would like answered from Jason directly to help inform purchase.
  1. Can this be detected by a dealer/Or anyone looking? Someone else answered "yea if they know what they are looking for" But would like to know form you Jason.
  2. What are the potential issues we can run into flashing?
    1. Following up - If we run into issues following your directions to flash, what options do we have? Are we on our own?
  3. Per # 1Does this affect CARB for us in California?
    1. Have any supporting data if it doesn't/does?

Exactly!

And triple digit speeds remind me when I went to Skip Barber racing school at Sebring 30 years ago, the biggest take home message for me was don't race on the street and certainly don't excessively speed. Take it to the track. Otherwise, sooner or later you pay the price. There are simply too many unknown variables on a public road that can ruin your day.
