Default EFI Live?

A couple of are probaly going in on a the EFI live setup. I am just wondering what kind of real world numbers to expect. Such as hp, torque, and milage. 5.3 2002 Z71 with Spintech exhaust and AEM Bruteforce intake. Any comments, numbers, or anything would be appreciated!

depends on the tuner really the program just gives you as the tuner the ability to change parameters/tables...its up to the person behind the keyboard to do the rest.

depends how skilled you are and how far you want to go with the tuning

all in good pratice, you will probably want to look into a good wideband o2 sensor also, as with any manual tuner

If you decide you want to purchase EFILive, please let me know as I can take care of you on getting started and setting up with the correct equipment. As Erik stated, a wideband is a very important piece in the tuning game. I compare it to building a motor without a torque wrench, sure you can do it but I wouldn't trust it.

I am not the smartest of the group, so I will not be behind the keyboard. It might be a little while before we jump into it, but I will let you know. Thanks!

If i had to do it all over again, the tuning software would have been my very first purchase.....after the truck itself of course..
