Yeah, that was funny...
Upon reviewing the dyno graph for the 2000 996 on the Evoms web site the Flash and Intake seem to average 12hp and 14tq . The 20hp+ plus doesn't occur until 6.5k-7.2k rpms.

The 3.6 graph lines are pretty tight together.

It's interesting the cost of flashing various cars. I am not up for $1100/12 hp in my 996, but I Superchipped my Excursion diesel for massive gains at $299. Big burnouts, much more towing power.

Steve used to post here. He's a good guy and very knowledgeable. I'm not sure if he's around anymore.

Oh yes, I'm still here,......
(and I do have a new X-51 engine kit for the 3.4's on the shelf)

We've obviously done a looooooot of Flashing
The 3.4Ls do have more headroom and produce more power (in terms of the gains) then the 3.6L but so far everyone that's done it has been very happy. The tip in, throttle response and even gas mileage is improved

It's both in my opinion, the TQ to get me off the line faster and the HP at HWY speeds. Both helped me fend off a flawless looking, lightly modded, candy red Supra TT last night.

For what it's worth, I'm a big fan of the X51 kit. Mine is on a 3.6L but I assume the impact on a 3.4 is similar. With it my 996 was a couple of car lengths faster than a real euro 993 RSCS on the staight at Road America. My car runs dead even on the straight with a GT3 MKIIs. Granted my car is light at 2910 lbs and I'm running straight pipes right out of the headers but the X51 is a very strong package.
