Anyone have any suggestions/experiences? May go chip/exhaust combo for a little more grunt as well.

Drive my C2S for a few days, the turbo lag on your GT2 will not be noticed.

I would checkout softtronic or Evomsit software, they seem quite popular.

Here are my recommendations.

The EVOMSit ECU Tuning for the Porsche 997TT GT2 is an elite technology product that has been tested under the most grueling conditions during dyno test simulation as well as during real world driving on the street and track by the EVOMS team drivers as well as through our eDRIVE independent product validation program. Rigorous testing under extreme conditions has been conducted and evaluated with various fuel octane grades in the heat of the dry Arizona desert, the cool temperatures and humid weather of the California coast, the high elevation of the Colorado Mountains, the heat and ocean humidity of Mexico and the frigid elements of Minnesota. Our stringent methods used during our testing phases are on par with the testing utilized by Porsche prior to public release of new models. This stringent and grueling method of testing assures pure, crisp and consistent power in all of the conditions that drivers demand

EVT 640 Includes:

-EVOMSit 997 GT2 ECU Tuning

-EVOMS Boost Recirculation Valves (Pair

-Cargraphic 200 Cell Catalytic Converters

-EVOMS VTG Performance Headers

HP Output: 640

TQ Output: 646

Quote: Honestly, I had the same complaint at first, but as you get more seat time you will realize how brilliant Porsche engineers are.

When you take the car onto a track or a windy road, you will realize that the way the power is delivered in the mid-range is nothing short of incredible, and absolutely PERFECT for a turbocharged track car. The power ramps up very progressively, and the right amount of torque is there to exit quickly out of corners.

Because of the larger VTGs, I believe the lag in the initial RPMS is there so that the power can ramp up progressively, but not too quickly (too much low end torque) to upset the beautiful balance of the car between chassis and engine.

Keep driving it before you mod it, trust me!

And if you do decide to tune it, be very careful, as you are more likely to screw up the balance than improve it.
Good advice, I wont' rush into any mods. As you said, the progressive ramp up in power from the turbos would be great on a track coming out of a corner, rather than an abrupt kick that may disrupt the balance out of the apex. I'll wait until I know the car a whole lot better before I do any major mods.

AWE makes a very nice kit as well with GIAC, Exhaust/Sport cats and upgraded intercoolers producing 518WHP, 573WTQ to redline

Make sure you can handle the exiting power of the stock power first before you go and chip it.

Good luck

My dealer (Loeber) uses AWE stuff so that's what i was leaning towards, but gonna do some heavy research first. Do you have any customers I can talk to about it who have AWE on their GT2?
