997.2 TT Softronic Ecu tune by Vivid Racing (review)

Thursday, Dan of Vivid Racing ran another dyno this time with both regular and Sport, Sports Plus mode. He will post the info. I let him have the car for a day and that evening I picked it up with the Softronic Ecu Tune installed, which they rate for an additional 75 hp. As I headed home in the low 90 degree temps I punched it. The car definitely has more power. I already thought it was enough before. Its now scary fast.

After packing that night, I drove down to the Inde Motorsports track. The car ran good the entire way and no evidence of a tune was in place unless under acceleration. The boost seems to come on a lot earlier then before.



The next day I spent beating the hell out of the car in 95+ temps. Two weeks ago I was at the same track and on the staightaway I was hitting 125 about 3/4 of the way down. This time I was hitting 125 half way down. At that point I let off and then slowly braked to get the car ready for the corner. The car is significantly faster on the long straightaways. I could have gone a lot faster as well but that is not my goal, my goal is to master the corners. But the car is certainly faster.

There was no issues either as the day wore on and I drove well into the late afternoon. I was one of the few to drive the car there and back home. I was a bit concerned about the tune but the car performed with no issues.

Have you done only ECU tune or also modified your exhaust?
Did it overheat any more?

It was ECU only, they are going to build me an exhaust later.

No overheating issues. The oil temps did get hot around 250F, but two weeks ago when I went to the track they reached the same temp and that was without the tune and about 10 degrees cooler out.
