I have had the Softronics Software on my 2.7 Liter Cayman for over 2 years now and absolutely love it .
Combined with the Softronics Plenum and a nice high flowing aftermarket exhaust the newest version 4.1 software is really impressive . Not only does my car have a significant increase in performance but the new high flow 4.1 software improves my cars all around drivability ,my car just feels like a more powerfull and smoother running machine ,not your typical ECU power increase ,something much much better Highly reccomended. A+ product

I installed the Softronic ECU flash without race plenum/throtlle body kit (next spring) in my ‘06 Cayman S and am very happy with the result. The first thing I noticed was how much better it pulls in the mid-range it also has better top end pull too. After driving it a few day on familiar roads I couldn’t help but notice better throttle response throughout the range–it seems more lively now.
The Saturday after installation I was at Miller Motorsports Park at a PCA DE and really appreciated the extra pull, sharper response and that extra 500 rpm on the long straight. There was another CS in my run group but I wasn’t able to do a side-by-side acceleration as he backed off to let me by. I was hoping to get on the straight behind him and see if I could gain on it and maybe even pass him.
I highly recommend Softronic. The company is responsive and the tune flash took me around thirty minutes including getting ready on the car and computer–the flash itself was maybe ten minutes.
Great product.

I installed the Softronic software and plenum in my ‘06 Cayman S. I also have an aftermarket cat back exhaust. The difference in power is very noticeable. If you want to make your car a little faster, these are very worthwhile improvements.

As an instructor for many car clubs I often get to drive students’ cars. Whenever I drive a stock Cayman S I am surprised by how much less powerful they feel. My car is noticeably faster. I have been extremely happy with all the dealings I have had with Softronic.

I have used the softronics software with the plenum and race throttle body and it transformed my Cayman from a very polite brisk car to a fast aggressive machine.

I have always felt that the first gen Cayman S had power left on the table. I never believed this to be the case with the non-S Cayman. Look at the hp/cubic inches ration of Porsche engines across the board. The Cayman was in the 80s while everything else was in the 90-100 plus range. Driving the stock car was not much fun above 5500rpm as it seemed to lose power.

After the softronic upgrades and a Borla exhaust I suddenly had a fast car. Uncorked, it was what I first expected of it. Scott does some fantastic programming.

And free upgrades, as new upgrades are available made the whole experience perfect.

All in all, will look to Softronics first wheneve I need serious tuning done.
