Softronic Releases ECU Flash Tuning for the 2010 997.2 GT3
Like its predeccessors, the new 2010 997.2 GT3 is quite a beast. Making 435bhp and 316ft/lbs of torque, it is already a monster. To achieve such a feat, no part of the powertrain was left untouched. The seven oil pumps of the dry sump lubrication system were put on a strict diet as were the air-con compressor and dual mass flywheel. Forged pistons, titanium connecting rods, hollow camshafts, and special lightweight valves and cup tappets not only reduce mass, they allow for a maximum engine speed of 8250rpm — 100rpm higher than the previous GT3.
Then there is the complex exhaust system; though composed of a complicated arrangement of fan-type manifolds, boxy catalytic convertors, and presilencers connected via ECU controlled butterfly valves to a single transverse mounted muffler, the system weighs 1 kilogram less than the older system on the previous GT3. What’s more, the new system significantly reduces back pressure and adds 20Nm of performance (and that deep bass roar) at the push of a dash mounted sport button.
All of this is furthered by the tuning of Softronic adjusting the entire 1mb of the timing and fuel maps via the OBDII port. Like all Softronic maps, you are able to keep your original map to load back to stock at any time. The new tuned file is done for either 91 or 93 octane and automatically adjusts for race gas which advances the timing. The Softronic ECU Flash for the 997.2 GT takes your car to an incredible 355hp and 337ft/lbs of torque.

Porsche 997.2 GT3 2010 ECU Flash Tuning
Porsche 997.2 2010 GT3 – $1295
Stock Power – 435HP and 316ft/lbs
Tuned Power – 455HP and 337ft/lbs
Softronic requires the 997.2 3.8L GT3 ECU to be mailed in for flashing. The ECU flash will alter your fuel and timing maps to give you a very linear increase over stock. For those worried about check engine lights, there are none! For those running a high flow cat or straight pipe exhaust systems, Softronic raises the O2 levels which will remove the possibility of having a CEL from this type of exhaust. Once the car is flashed, the low end torque and throttle response will be much improved. The mid-range of the RPM band will feel stronger as well. The overall improvement of drivability makes the 997.2 GT3 even more fun then it was originally. We have different maps for those running 91 octane or 93 octane and higher. We have tested this software in many competition venues with nothing but positive results.

After customer Mark G flashed his car in NY he emailed this, “I will say this so far… The power/pull is much more consistent from start to redline. Throttle is perfectedly sensitive and responsive.”
The 2009 and up Porsche Carrera is a big change over previous models. The new 911 has switched from a Bosch ECU to now running a Siemens SDI system. The transmission can be had in a standard 6 speed manual or the new PDK transmission to complete with the GTR, M3, and others. Softronic has spent time engineering and developing software for the new FSI cars and is one of the only tuners in the world that can offer an ECU flash via the OBDII port. With some additional programming to adjust the cars timing and air fuel mixtures, Softronic is able to gain performance on both the 3.6L and the 3.8L 911.
3.6L Stock Power – 345HP and 280ft/lbs
Tuned Power – 360HP and 295ft/lbs
