Depending upon what you mean exactly there may be actual hardware modules involved as well, not just a simple software flash, but for many of the sport chrono features like mapping the throttle, there is a software flash available - see the SNAP-FLASH info.

Sport Chrono and Chrono Plus
This optional package is a valuable addition for trackday use. Available in conjunction with the CDR-24 CD radio, it includes a swivel-mounted analog and digital timer unit which is centrally located on the dashboard. All functions are easily accessible via the control stalk for the on-board computer. Analog dials measure hours, minutes and seconds, while a separate digital field displays whole seconds, tenths and one hundredths of a second. A second digital display runs in parallel in the instrument cluster. Click this Link to visit the FAQ entry for Sport Chrono.
Each car is built with a custom wiring harness, unique to that car and it's factory-delivered options, so the wiring doesn't exist on a car without SC. So, you'd have to start with a new harness, and you'd have to practically tear the car completely apart to R&R it. Simple math says it's not viable unless you have a ton of money to flush.

Supposedly you can get the throttle response of the Sport Chrono by doing an ECU flash and I know GIAC has a specific flash just for tiptronic cars, but I don't believe that is one of the features of the flash... but your best bet might be to contact them or Revo Technik, both sponsors of the site.

Thanks for your replies.
How about a ECU reflash that can also take care of the triptronic and make it fully Manual when in "M" mode.
I really hate that it upshifts by itself when in "M "
I know with the Sport Crono package it becomes fully manual when in M.
Really thats the only complain I have about my car.
If you don't have SC (like me) turn off your PSM, it will prevent the card from upshifting unless you fully depress the pedal(there is a little push button feeling when you completely push it in) when in M mode.

PSM - Porsche Stability Management
While it can’t overcome the laws of physics, the revolutionary Porsche Stability Management (PSM) system does lend an added degree of balance and control to the Cayman’s mid-engine driving dynamics, inspiring surefooted confidence in corners and extreme situations.
A standard feature on the Cayman and Cayman S, PSM continuously monitors steering input, road speed, yaw velocity and lateral acceleration to calculate the actual direction of travel. If the car begins to steer off line, PSM instantly intervenes with precision brake inputs on individual wheels to help bring the car back onto the driver’s intended path.
If braking alone isn’t enough to correct the vehicle’s cornering line, PSM then calls on the Cayman’s engine management system, adjusting engine output as needed to help stabilize handling. PSM can also compensate in an instant for mid-corner changes in load resulting from deceleration or braking. When Sport mode is selected with the optional Sport Chrono Package, PSM’s threshold for intervention is raised, allowing for greater driver involvement. If you prefer driving without automatic PSM assistance, the system can be set to standby at any time. In this case, it will only intervene under heavy braking, where both front wheels exceed the ABS threshold.
For all of its technical ability, PSM goes virtually unnoticed in everyday driving situations, preserving the Cayman’s natural agility.
John:Will try your theory but there is no way I will drive in the twisties the way I do, without PSM.
It saves me at least once every drive, definitelly will not make it without it.
Also I feel the car has less roll and is better for the turns with PSM on.
The situation I dont like is when sometimes you redline all the way to the next corner, and lift to brake with compression and brakes as well before the turn, just when you lift, it upshits, you end up entering the turn, in a taller gear, faster than you want it and without compression braking.
not good!!!
This has happened to me too many times and its nasty.
