Is 502 whp possible from an ecu tune only?

I was told by an owner yesterday that his Sportec tune gave him 502 at the wheels and 600 tq.

I was surprised and asked if that was "the only thing done, nothing else?"

He assured me nothing else was done. Does that make sense?

Sounds like he started with a K24 car (X-50, Turbo S, or GT2)

Sportec is obviously a great company.

Sorry about the confusion, I was talking 996 turbos.
997 Turbos do respond well to ECU tuning

I was there.

The car did do 502 at the wheels but this was on a rear wheel drive dyno not 4 wheel which is approx 475-480 at the wheels on a 4 wheel dyno.

He did in fact quote "rear wheel" hp. Where's the dyno?
