Has anyone tried the Softronic software flash on a stock 986?

I am wondering if there is any improvement in performance.

I know in a turbo car you can see a big performance gain but not so sure in a normally asperated engine.

On my NA 996, I noticed improved throttle response. With the addition of some very expensive intake and exhaust bolt-ons additional grunt and noise. But mainly at the top end RPM range.

In my opinion, it's not worth the money unless you've invested in other upgrades, and it is a slippery slope.

Even with complimentary intake an exhaust upgrades you're only talking about a few 10's of usable HP at most.

on my 986 I did see an improvement as logray said quicker throttle response and definately noticable increase in torque. you might not get that much out of a 996 because it allready has more torque. If you shop around with some reasonably priced upgrades such as cold air intake and exhaust you can squeeze up to 30 more hores. BTW I dinod mine before and aft.
