I guess I see your point why get a Single serial number cable if you currently have a good enthusiast cable. I don't know how much they would take off if you didn't get the cable as part of the package.

After the motor was completed the second round 2014 I believe. I had a dyno done at the tuners near where I live after it was completed. 289 Ftlb torque and 322 Hp best of 3 runs

The first time I rebuilt the motor I did the 3.6 Nickies and the heads but did not replace any lifters only valves springs retainers and ground the surfaces. I started to notice lifters tapping at the end of the second season on track. I took it back apart replaced the heads with 2006 S heads with 11,000 original miles on them, Carrilo H beam rods, and all new seals and rings. It spins about 8 lb less weight. than OEM because of the rods, pistons, and Carrilo rods

I have a 06 Boxster with the 3.2 totally stock and installed the tune from
Softronic and really like it.Have had it all last summer maybe 6000k and no issues so far.I definitely noticed the car had more snap, crisper cleaner throttle response and the sound of the motor is angrier and slightly louder when on the throttle hard, sounds amazing !
I cant comment on the advertised increase of HP or Torque numbers as I have not and will never do a dyno to know but theres definitely a seat of the pants increase and the car is just more enjoyable to drive now.I definitely would do it again.I dont track the car and never will but its a lot more fun as a daily driver in the summer.I did find it pretty complicated to install and had to keep calling Softronic and he eventually found there was a glitch in the something that wouldn't let me install. They finally got it to take and its been all good since then. I was pretty frustrated at the time if I recall and was considering sending it back.But everything worked out in the end, glad I stuck it out!
