Today I received my Tuned software from Softronic.I followed the E-mailed Instructions and it only took about 10 minutes and it was very easy to do .My Performance Modifications now Include the Softronic Flash, Remus Exhaust ,K&N Air filter and the Infamous De-Snorkel .I first noticed that my car sounds a little different then before,a little deeper sound.a real racing kind of sound . WOW !! To put it kindly my car now scares me Ok. I was going about 40 to 45 in 3rd gear so 3300 3400RPM (In that range ) I put the pedal to the metal as we say and the Frigin TIRES SPUN !! like some sort of BEAST of a car asking for more acceleration. WOW!!!!! The Torque was tremendous. It seriously feels like a different car.I will make some videos to prove my results and after Plenum installation a DYNO.I do not have any affiliation with Softronic in any way.This tuned software is worth every penny and a MUST get modification for any 2.7 Owner trust me it will knock your socks off. WOW!!:
Plenum
The plenum is the piece that goes between the Cayman throttle body and the intake runners. The factory piece is a long black plastic tube with a divider down the middle. There are aftermarket replacements which are designed to allow the air to flow easier/faster into the engine and increase horsepower and torque.
Softronic
SOFTRONIC produces DME programming and hardware to suit your companies specifications. Our current software suite is a complex matched set of programs housed in a Flash Manager and Flash Client. This software is matched with two cables, an End User and Master Cable. The SOFTRONIC proprietary flashing solution outperforms all other combinations in speed and accuracy including the factory Porsche equipment.
Wow, tire spin, sounds like a good increase. Can a 3.4 spin tires in 3rd at that RPM? Can't wait to see the dyno. Not doubting the mod, just skeptical and glad you like it....which is the point of any mod, make the owner smile
Road was not completely Dry .It had rained earlier in the day but still the tourque Is unbelievable and this would have never happened before.STLPCA I will certainally wave to you as a Porsche courtesy when passing you
You say applying the change was easy, but was it done?
Can you turn it back to factory on demand?
I tuned my GTV and it felt like a massive change but in reality the engine note has changed because of the exhaust and cold air intake that was added at the same time.
Definately going to look into doing it to my 2.7!
Can the red line be changed with the chipping? Or could that damage the car?
YES It was Done and my car Has considerable Improvement in areas of Tourque and HP. I have almost 20K on it so I have a good feel for differences .All the prior Mods were done before the Softronic Flash .Exhaust almost a year ago De-Snorkel 6 months ago and K&N 3 weeks ago.I was sent in the form of an E-mail a Stock settings download as well as the Tuned one.so setting back to stock is just 10 minutes of time.I dont know about the Red Line Question.But the 2.7 Responded very well to the Tuned Software.

It changed my car too. The higher rev range is a nice feature. This is my first Porsche but I've been driving manual cars for years. Before the flash, I would hit the rev limiter before I hit my traditional engine pitch for shifting. Now I can wind it up to 7000 RPM. I should be adding the Plenum Friday, it seems like no brainer add on for $850.
The other change is a smoother acceleration in the lower RPM range in 3rd gear.
Glad to hear it did the same for you. Just makes driving these machines that much better.

Thats Great to hear.I have the Exact same Results car really Pulls well .Like its teasing me to to go faster.I am going to be a little cautious about accelerating around corners though until I get a real feel for the increased tourque.Without LSD One can spin pretty easily .Especially here in WA we have had nothing but rain all year so far.Do you have a Aftermarket Exhaust? also are you going to DYNO after the Plenum install. Thanks

LSD - Limited Slip Differential
A limited slip differential (LSD) is a modified or derived type of differential gear arrangement that allows for some difference in rotational velocity of the output shafts, but does not allow the difference in speed to increase beyond a preset amount. In an automobile, such limited slip differentials are sometimes used in place of a standard differential, where they convey certain dynamic advantages, at the expense of greater complexity.
The main advantage of a limited slip differential is found by considering the case of a standard (or "open") differential where one wheel has no contact with the ground at all. In such a case, the contacting wheel will remain stationary, and the non-contacting wheel will rotate freely– the torque transmitted will be equal at both wheels, but will not exceed the threshold of torque needed to move the vehicle, thus the vehicle will remain stationary. In everyday use on typical roads, such a situation is very unlikely, and so a normal differential suffices. For more demanding use however, such as driving off-road, or for high performance vehicles, such a state of affairs is undesirable, and the LSD can be employed to deal with it. By limiting the velocity difference between a pair of driven wheels, useful torque can be transmitted as long as there is some friction available on at least one of the wheels.

Quick question, did you have SC?? I know the Softronic can add sport mode, but what if you already have it?!

If you already have the sport chrono, just let Scott know that you want the tuned file (more power) but without the sport chrono option. Your factory sport chrono will work as before.
Non sport chrono Cayman owners can also request not to include this feature in their tuned file, only the extra power.
In regards to raising the rev limiter, this can only be done with manual cars, no tiptronic cars, just wanted to make sure to point that out so nobody gets confused and assumes it is possible on any Cayman.
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 o
