ECU Flash?

Looking at getting my 997 S ECU flashed. I see there are a few different options out there. Wanted to get advice from people that have had it done to their 997. I see that Softonic has a program that some here like.

1. How do you like your car now that is flashed?

2. What ECU program do you have and where did you get it?

Thanks for the help & advice!

We use the EVOMSit software and you can see details and the dynos here:

There's a nice write-up on the process:

As well as a video showing the tuning process itself:

I only have experience with one, but I am a totally satisfied customer of Softronic. The car is simply "meaner" if that could be used as a description...

Call Scott at Softronics. They are top notch. I think they are even running a special now..

I had Softronics in a 2007 Carrera S I use to have. It was nice. I agree with North Van in that you should get to know the guys at Sharkwerks and check out there service and products.
