A chassis dyno is the only way to know/monitor how the engine is performing . Every car performs differently so a " fits all canned tune " may run lean on some and rich on another . If a chassis dyno is " risky for the car " does that mean on the street you are NEVER going to run the car up to redline ? I would be a little concerned about a software company selling a tune making certain claims about that tune but are hesitant or recommend you not verify the results . I have probably watched 50 + chassis dyno pulls on Porsche cars and am always amazed on the differences that need to be " tuned " .

Not trying to scare you or be a douche , just my thoughts . I wish you the best on your rebuild and hope all goes as planned . Have fun ........ take your time and enjoy .

Thanks for the words of encouragement!! I have a feeling its going to be quite a process.

I know Softronic is very well respected, perhaps i mis-read their advice, or there is some other way they can verify the tune, perhaps by a dump from the DME?
