Pro/cons between softronic and switzer performance tune

For anyone with either of the tunes in their cars, could you give me the pros/cons. I just want to know any information I can gather on both tunes from people who have it in their 996TT. Also, do you daily drive your vehicle with either of the tunes ? Thanks for any information you can give me.

This is just my personal Opinion however the Softronic flash is just a little better.. Just kidding. I think that both are great and you would have a very good flash with either.

Yes I should promote Softronic yet if its good its good....and both are just that.



Best Regards,
Scott Slauson

I have Protomotive but as Scott said if its good its good. BlackHorseTurbo and I have ran numerous times my protomotive car vs. his softronic car and the outcomes are virtually even any way you slice it. It really boils down to what is convenient for you when you are talking about the top tuners. If you are near a specific dealer that is probably your best bet just for the additional support they may have to offer. Switzer does use Proto tunes I believe.

Thats just it Scott, I know your company and Switzer (Tym's) are both great in my opinion. Which makes it harder for me to choose. So I'm just taking a poll on here to see what other people are experiencing. Thanks.

I met Tym at the Texas Mile last year. Very nice guy and he builds some serious cars. On the other hand, I own a Softronic tuned car. Scott at Softronic knows his stuff backwards and forwards and has provided me with a smoking tune. Just look at my numbers.

He used to for some flashes, but not anymore.

If this is a mild build, can't go wrong with either. Step it up a few levels and SPI videos/slips tell a different story.

Scott's tune was EXCELLENT on my Cayman S. I don't know anyone that thinks otherwise about his product.

you arent going to hear anything bad about either of them, everyone who has used them is going to say great things about them, you may as well flip a coin

The nice thing about what Tym has done is created maximum versatility in the different levels of packages he offers, so if you go with a level 1, you just keep building on top of it, and anything that isn't needed, doesn't go in the kit. So if you go with him and pull the trigger, you have many roads to go on, and it is all at the speed you want to go, all the way up to 1000hp
