Default Best tuning software for STS

Just like the title says . What are you using and why. I am getting a street tune , but I want to be able to log and change as needed. Also if something goes wrong, I don't want to have to wait on a mail tune or trip to the tuner. Opinions wanted.

most of these threads end up in pissing contest about which one is better, but I honestly dont think you can go wrong with hptuners or efilive.. Both are solid, have great customer service and the support forums are really nice.. Just figure out which one fits your budget and what features you want go for it.. Ive got Hp Tuners BTW and really enjoy it..

I'm with the others. I have an STS and use EFILive. I LOVE it! If you decide to go with EFILive, I'll give you a hand with it if you need it.

First I was using a LC-1, but it broke and had to send it in for repair. Then sent me a new one. In the mean time I had a TechEdge I bought a while ago and have been using it ever since the LC-1 quit me.
