Default BEST Tune

Guys, I am done with all my Mods (For Now) I am looking to get a Software Tune to extract whatever performance I can get at this point, therefore I am ready to do the tune, just not sure which is the best in my Area (Northern New Jersey)
My GTS has the following modifications:

Fabspeed Exhaust
AWE - CAI
200 Cell CATS
GT3 TB

Thank you in advance.

I used Sam @ https://www.bydesignauto.com/ sent him logs and he tuned remotely, both on road and dyno. Yes, he does ALOT of turbos; however he know how to get very smooth power from naturally aspirated motors as well.

I am going with Softronic. www.softronicsoftware.com. Scott is the man. I am super impressed with them. All 5 star reviews I have a slightly modified 997.1 Base Carrera. Should be an awesome update.

Does a tune actually make a meaningful difference on the naturally aspirated engines?

I did softronic on my 997.1 C4. I would say that there is a meaningful difference but not sure if it’s worth the scratch. I found their post purchase support to be abysmal. After install, I had a significant torque dip at 3-4k. Ultimately improved after removing my EVOMS intake and reinstalling stock intake, but Softronic was not interested in helping diagnose or retune.

Seems like it’s pretty hard to make any real extra power with a NA 997. I haven’t found a real proven path so far anyway, besides 4.0.

How is that a GTS? Looks like a .1
