The pops and bangs is on decel are load based so if you accelerate lets say to 6k and then let off the gas you get the pops and Bangs or AKA gurgles etc. Softronic along with all other features are standard and at no additional cost.

I hope this helps,

Hello,
You are good as the 200 cell cat pipes if of quality should not cause a CEL as they should be efficient in scrubbing the HC and if not then they would be no better than just non catted ones or aka cattless . You can save now if you like from our offer of 10off or feel safe to know you can buy any quality cat 200 cell cats from any other vendor and use them with our ssoftware.

Best,
Scott

Are there any sound clips available? Does the software raise the redline?

Hello,
We posted a clip of a race car at: https://rennlist.com/forums/987-981-...enix-area.html
Keep in mind that the car has headers and no mufflers so its louder than what a car would have with one. Now as far as the red line we can for man trans yet not normally for street cars .

Best,
Scott

Can you elaborate on what makes the different tuner company's approaches different? Are they all modifying the same parameters in the same tables just with different values? Or are there fundamental differences? Tuners always elude to having "deeper" access into the guts of the ECU, but what does this really mean?

is this only on DFI cars or .1 3.8s too?

Hey Scott, it would be great if you can implement launch control for 997.1 manual cars (I have this feature with Cobb AccessPort on a different car).....I would gladly pay an incremental amount to upgrade my existing tune

Hum.... I can see how it might be difficult to set the desire launch RPM without a user interface......Maybe a mobile App tie to a Bluetooth OBDII dongle

Hello,
Well I dont like to talk about other tuners on what they can or cant do . I tune all Porsche cars on a binary level as Porsche does or should I say Bosch or Siemens. This allows us to alter or change any part or section and we are not confined to a system or dongle. These only allow what they know of and show you in those maps. So if you wanted to change the idle of a 996TT , delete any fault codes in a 997 , delete a MAF in a GT3 to run as a Cup car I could yet if its not specifically in a listed map many would not be able to. Generally speaking Im aware of all the systems and they are limited yet are made so someone without allot of knowledge can change some timing ,fueling, boost pressures etc. Most companies sell files yet they dont actually make them this includes parts retailers and actually some tuners....

Feel free to give me a call and I can discuss more if you like and have questions.

Best,
Scott

Ya, I'd love to see some HP plotting as well, for whatever reason, we rarely if EVER see dynos here for the 997. I find it a little odd why we never see independent dynos for before and after, with aftermarket products for the 997, There are tons out there for parts for WRX, Evo, S2000, 350/370z, even BMW M cars, yet the the 997 costs more than ALL of those cars and yet we don't see any dynos. This is why I have done NOTHING to the engine of my 997, yet to my other cars, I have done a lot in the past. I can't imagine that it is due to 997 owners or tuners not having enough money to pay for them? (hell, half the WRX crowd are teenagers and in 20s, yet they have a tone of dynos). WTF is going on, its like some be conspiracy or something?

A quick question, I don't like the idea of rev matching on a regular basis, but I find that I would be probably a little quicker if that was a system I could use at the track, but turn off on daily drives and canyon drives. In other words, might be a tiny bit easier to close the lap time gaps to a PDK car if there was a rev match system that could be added. Is this soemthing you offer as well, and can it be turned on and off, on the fly?

oh geez, nevermind, looks like I should have kept reading before I posted my last comment, and another product with no Dynos .

I have posted below several dynos to show real from generated ....

This was done in 2008 on a 2008 997SS 3,8 and on a Mustang stock and flashed Softronic 12 years ago.....

This was a 2007 3,8S engine that had a flash from another tuner, mufflers and catless cross over pipes. It was done on a Dynapack in which is almost on in actual HP and reflashed with Softronic as the base file was a bit less than stock even with a different tuners file. This was from 2016.

This is a 3.8 Gt4 just to show the 3.8 in one as its about the same engine that is in the 3.8S showing an original and tuned from Softronic and the car was all stock and running 91 octane in 2018. This car was 385hp stock and 410 flashed yet notice the gains in the low end dead spot.Its not always about the top number . We typically bring these up to 420-430 with 93 and some other change's.

This is what I called a artist rendition of a GT4 dyno. Notice how nice it looks? Its like what Porsche uses it looks very clean ....... A customer sent it to me.

This if you read at the bottom is an auto generated dyno and another auto artist rendering.... This site does mention it at the bottom though.

Graphs should only be used to compare same car, same dyno and you could argue same day.

You pick your product based on lots of factors. Comparing the horse power and torque numbers between tuners is not really one of them. The advertised results should be similar assuming the cars are the same. If they are not it’s not apples to apples.

You should however consider the products features and the tuners reputation.

just my .02

This used to be called Bootccamp.... CA 91 RON/MON isnt an issue yet many use 104+ octane boost when the fill up if you want some more power. Many customers keep a bottle in the car and dump it in when filling up so there is no mess. The choice is up to you if you want to use it or not.
Will a Windows Surface work? That’s the only Windows device I have and it’s old, a Pro 3 running Windows 10.
