Newly Released GIAC Software for Porsche 997.2 Applications




GIAC performance software is now available for Porsche 997.2 applications. This programming offers significant improvements over the standard factory programming:

* Improved crank horsepower and torque gains of 11-14 hp/13-15 ft lbs of torque.

* Improved drivability, with power and torque gains across the entire rev range.

* Improved throttle response for a drive-by-cable system feel.

* Increased torque limits to accommodate additional hardware modifications.

* Stock mode and a handheld switcher are included with purchase. Additional switching modes (Anti-theft, Valet) may be available for purchase in the coming months.

Dynamometer test results measured at the wheels are included here. The graph plots three runs for a 2010 Porsche 997.2 PDK with a pre-installed X-pipe on 91-octane fuel. The first and second runs are performance runs with GIAC programming included to demonstrate the consistency of the software power curve. The third run is the baseline run with stock ECU programming.



For more information, please contact your local GIAC dealer: http://www.giacusa.com/dealermap/

Assuming a 385bhp baseline equates to 288whp, approximate crank figures would be 400bhp on 91 octane.

Assuming 310 ft/lbs equates to 244 wtq, approximate crank torque figures would be 322 ft.lbs.

93 octane fuel would be higher than this.

Thanks for the info

These numbers of 400/322 HP/TQ are for both your program and the X pipe, right ?

Correct, the stock software is torque limited and will not make power with additional bolt ons. You need a flash to realize gains with additional hardware.

Our software is switchable back to stock mode (stock mode and the handheld switcher are included in the price of the software). This is something that no one can offer but us.

I would put our gains up against anyones. I drove this car 60 miles in its modified form and this flash really wakes the car up in all areas of the rev range. Throttle response is just right, not over zealous.

Not to mention, our software is OBD2 port flashable. The DME does not need to be removed for installation.

No Gain on the 2010 Engine.

iT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THE 2010 ENGINE IS ALREADY AT 408 hp. I see no gain with the software.

I think you're mistaking the 997.2S with the special edition Porsche Sport Classic ($250k) which is 408hp. Stock 997.2S is 385hp so they are showing a nice gain to bring it to 400hp.

Also, they are showing this gain with 91 octane not 93 which is even more impressive. The 385hp stock power that Porsche states is based on 93 octane.

J.Seven is infamous around these parts
The best way to measure the gain is not the Dyno, it´s real world comparo.
With your system this must be very easy, because you can put it stock by the touch of a buton.

So the best argument you could gave us, is to measure your tuned car, with a stock 997.2 S PDK just like yours. Then make a acceleration test from several speeds, including the use of launch control.

Test 1:
Giac 997.2 S PDK with stock power vs Stock 997.2 S PDK
(See the result)

Test 2:
Giac 997.2 S PDK with "tuned mode +/- 400HP" vs Stock 997.2 S PDK
(See the difference between this, and first test)

If I were in the states , I would be the first to give my car for this test, and if Giac tuned car would gain some considerable distance, I would buy the tuned program in a heart beat.

Is it possible to see such test? I´m sure, if you could show and prove such power gains, everybody would jump on your system.
More than dyno sheets, this is the real way to show and prove your claimed power gains. Anyone here available for such comparo

Atention, I´m not doubting your word, as I said I would be the first to buy it, if the gains were seen and prove on real world cenario.
