Performance Software

[PAULSPEED]

Is it possible for a company like Farnbacher Loles to

send software into the car. Could the old

days of replacing the performance chip be gone?

I believe they upload (flash) the CPU chip in the on board computer with more agressive parameters through the OBD port?

That is exactly what they do. I just had it done to my 997 at APR in AL.

Thanks guys. I could not understand

how a stock caymen S could be a fast as

my 997 S down the straights. I was

told that the car was getting a better launch

out of 14 because it had racing tires and

not street tires like my car. I took 14 faster and yet I could not

pull past this caymen S on the track. Now I

have passed alot of Caymen S's on the track but

this one car had something special about it. Thanks

for opening up my eyes.

+1 on the APR.

Some people have put 3.8 x-51 motors in Caymens.

Softronic is better IMO

Nick_USA,

Why do you like Softronic? I am interested in software for my 2004 996 but Softronic will not answer any of technical questions.

I would like to know what parameters they change other than throttle response. For example do they do anything with cam timing and cam lift, mixture, etc.

Thanks
