Post vids!! I'm a bit of a skeptic regards to seeing that large of a difference, but then again I'm sure there is still a gain to be made with this

If you can do this with the Boxster, then you should be able to do it with the other flat 6 motors.
Please put a post on the Rennlist.com 996 forum. I am sure there will be lots of people interested

996 Forum - Rennlist Discussion Forums

Dr. Paul aka ECU Wizard, aka ECU Doctor

Paul,
We are a decent bunch but totally intolerant of B/S attempts to get in our wallets.
Compared to the 996 guys on Rennlist -we are choir boys. So the suggestion to try your luck on Rennlist is both helpful and positive.
Some reference/link to your Camaro triumphs may help your credibility? Not disputing your claims but to just dump a blatant ad in our Forum with no prior posts to your credit indicates(incorrectly ?) blind bumptiousness.
So you've had plenty of free exposure - now it is time to put up or ....
Proof please .

I *think* it is 2006 and newer don't need a sniff. older still do. Call you smog station and find out if they have the new machine or not, not all have it...

In AZ it's any OBD II equipped car that they just plug in and don't bother with the sniff test. AZ usually follows what CA does, at least they used to. I just did mine a month ago and no problems with the secondary cats deleted.

I myself own a 2001 Boxster, it has been my test car. Everything on my car is bone stock, with the exception of a re mapped ECU. What is a re mapped ECU you may ask? Well I simply access the data on the ECU via a computer, change the values of the air/fuel/spark ratio and I can achieve great things (cant tell you all my secrets

With the ECU remapped on my Boxster I can acheive 0-60 times in 3-3.5 seconds, thats a lot better then the 6 second stock time.

I am just trying to pass on my amazing discoveries to you! My fellow Porsche fanatics, if I get enough interest in this we can set up a group deal and get you guys running 3 second 0-60s in no time.

Thank you my friends! And happy Motoring :dance:
I also own a 2001 Box, and I am very interested in what you claim. So where are you at on offering some type of group deal? You can PM me if you'd like, maybe that will avoid some of the skeptic flames being blazed in here at you.

Nope, only 400hp. Surprised you guys didn't know this. You don't need to have this guy do a tune for you. Just get a Durametric Enthusiast tool, go to the Performance options. There you will see a 3 second 0-60 option, just enable it. This gives the car 400hp and turns on the all wheel drive system that all 986's came with.

Not a chance. They have different screen names, and I'm not opening my wallet on any of these until the 0 - 60 time is under 2 seconds.
