Product Description

Unlock more power, torque, and response from your naturally aspirated Porsche 991.1 Carrera with Softronic Performance Software. Developed specifically for Porsche's direct-injected 3.4L and 3.8L flat-six engines, the Softronic calibration optimizes the factory ECU to improve performance while retaining the drivability and refinement expected from a 911.

On 93 octane, Softronic rates the 3.4L Carrera at 370 hp and 306 lb-ft, compared with 349 hp and 287 lb-ft in stock form. The 3.8L Carrera S increases from 400 hp and 325 lb-ft to 430 hp and 352 lb-ft, while the 3.8L GTS and Carrera S Powerkit increase from 430 hp and 325 lb-ft to 455 hp and 362 lb-ft.

Installation is completed through the vehicle's OBD-II port using the included cable and Softronic flashing software, allowing the ECU to be programmed without physically removing it from the vehicle. The flashing system is tied to the vehicle's VIN and can be used to manage the calibration for that specific car. For owners looking to sharpen the character of the naturally aspirated 991.1 without adding forced induction or invasive engine modifications, Softronic software provides a straightforward way to extract additional performance from the factory engine management.
