My cousin just picked up a 2011 997 Turbo. Can anyone give me some feedback on EVO VS. SOFTRONIC? I only have experience with EVO.

Even though you asked about EVO and Softronics only,,Protomotive and Markski are worth the call....

Epl or Proto would be the choices I'd be looking at. Just my 2 cents. I went with Epl and am very happy with the decision.

Not sure this helps, but I spent 1 year deciding and I eventually went with EPL. My second choice was UMW. I researched Softonic and Revo as well. THere's also a local guy that does some no-name tune for $735. In the end, I went with the cheapest tune that allowed me to flash back to stock whenever I felt like it. THey are all flash based. I don't plan to really track my car or do any other upgrades to it. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the mentioned companies, but I would stick to the company that will ultimately do your upgrades.

I did look into Markski and Protomotive, but they were more expensive. I bought my tune purely on price and convenience with the ability to flash back to stock when needed. I wasn't looking for the most horsepower, but something tuned for 91 octane that is reliable and would give me some more power. The local shop I talked to wouldn't tell me which flash he was using for $735 (I was positive it was Upsolute, but Upsolute says they have no vendors here in CA), so I passed since there are too many questions here.
