The answer is in the tune and not what flashed the car. This is the same reason some tunes make more HP than others etc. There is also multiple rev sections in the 997 and GT2 files.

Thanks Scott, much appreciated. This helps clarify some things. Just to confirm, in your earlier post (#10) my understanding is that unless you hit the raised rev limit, the Softronic flash will not record overrevs but once you hit it, the overrevs are counted. Whereas in my flash as it stands today, even if the rev limit were to be raised to 10,200 it will still record overrevs even if I never hit that mark. Is that correct?
