We also offer a 1 bar MAF custom operating system and don't forget Real time tuning which comes which is an added feature for most of our gen 3 custom operating systems.

Add to that Ford support & dodge support to be released shortly, and you get enough credits to license up to 4 single vcm's you get more bang for the buck. We are also the only company to offer year/model licenses in addition to our tunershop(unlimited vehicle group) and single vcm licenses.

We try to give you more options for your dollar.

Sorry guys but i'm throwing this in....I use JET-DST Programing software, i can't say it's better than anything but it's user friendly it adjust everything i need to change, I do know the support is hard to find, I just had to play with and figure it out...

Thanks for all the input. Anyone else have anything to add? I'm still undecided but am starting to lean a little in one direction.

I want both.

I just bought HPTuners solely because it supports w-bodies. I already have a DHP PowrTuner, but wanted more options and better scanning. The lack of a virtual VE table generated from the coefficients in the E38 and E67 is a bit of a bummer.

I have had EFILive downloaded for a long time. It's a great system with excellent hardware. I love the serial connection for WBO2 sensors and the virtual VE table for E67 PCMs. Downsides are higher price and more limited model support.

I really wish both were capable of true, realtime tuning like a good standalone. (on all PCMs)
