The Softronic Porsche 987 Cayman Performance Software is a specialized ECU flash‑tuning upgrade engineered for the Porsche 987 Cayman and Cayman S (2006–2008). Unlike physical hardware modifications, this solution re‑calibrates the engine control unit (ECU) through the OBD‑II port to improve power delivery, torque, and throttle response — providing a more engaging and responsive driving experience without replacing mechanical components. This software is VIN‑specific and reversible, making it a compelling performance upgrade for both stock cars and lightly modified vehicles.
Compatible with Porsche 987 Cayman (2006–2008) with the 2.7 L engine.
Compatible with Porsche 987 Cayman S (2006–2008) with the 3.4 L engine.
OBD‑II flash means no ECU removal — tuning is done via your vehicle’s diagnostic port.
Works with stock or bolted‑on upgrades; customized data‑logging tuning is available for vehicles with significant modifications.
Calibration is tied to your vehicle’s VIN — if you change major hardware, a new tune is recommended.
Softronic performance ECU software file specific to your 987 Cayman engine.
OBD‑II flash cable for read/write access to the ECU.
Original ECU backup file to revert to stock calibration if needed.
Optional tuning configurations (see Features below).
Base vs. Tuned Power (Typical, 93 octane):
2.7 L Cayman: ~245 hp / 199 lb‑ft → ~260 hp / 212 lb‑ft.
3.4 L Cayman S: ~295 hp / 251 lb‑ft → ~315 hp / 268 lb‑ft.
Engine Type: Naturally aspirated flat‑6 (2.7 L or 3.4 L).
Installation: ECU flash over the OBD‑II port with included cable; no ECU removal.
Fuel for Gains: Gains are based on running 93‑octane premium fuel.
Calibration: VIN‑locked — exclusive to one vehicle; requires reflashing if hardware changes.
Notable horsepower & torque increases for stronger acceleration and throttle response.
Performance‑oriented ECU optimizations — improves power curve without hardware swaps.
Optional tuning codes and features, such as:
Free revving in neutral.
RPM increase in manual transmissions.
Speed limiter removal.
Race‑code elimination for track use.
Reversible tune — original ECU setup can be restored using the backup file.
Improves throttle feel and midrange response, enhancing daily and spirited driving.
Custom data‑log tuning available for highly modified engines needing tailored calibrations.
