Default Anyone go from tune to tune?

Anyone with M engineering, APR, softronics etc. go from one to another and felt a difference, both positive or negative?

I'm curious to hear as well, plan to tune this spring (both 718 and 992) and it would be great to hear real-world feedback.

The only people that are doing extensive testing on products seems to be @Flat6Motorsports Maybe they should run APR on that new CT they have coming in before moving all the mods over from the C2.

We have tested on the base 992. We're friends with those guys, we handpick the best solutions with our Power Kits. M-Engineering and Softronic remain the two most popular choices with our client base. We plan to do more broad testing (including Cobb) here soon when the T arrives.

Not sure what your question means: there are only so many variables a tuner has access to, ie all tunes are just variations of fuel, timing, boost, etc. Off the shelf maps are usually cheaper but leave something on the table, while custom tunes are more expensive and can be customize to your specific mods and risk tolerance. At the end of the day you are up against the physics of combustion so no tune can change that…

I took his question to mean did you start with Tune X and move to Tune Y and if so, what were the differences because that is literally what he asked.

Lol! At first I was like wtf? And then I actually started to doubt the clarity of my original question for a second.

I should send a note to that guy from Engineering Explained for a more thorough explanation.

*assuming the conversation is constrained to off the shelf tunes

Fuel quality is different all over the place, so there could be benefits to getting a tune that was developed on your local fuel.
