Can anyone post up screen shots of their partucular tuning suite?? the visual layout play heavily in my choice. I like to have everything fairly simple and easy to read in front of me.
You can download an EFILive demo and play around with it.

Here's a comparison I put together http://mysite.verizon.net/whenn1//HPTvsV2.pdf

Bottom line both products will get the job done just fine but there are advantages & disadvantages to both.

If you have any specific questions about any features we offer please don't hesitate to ask.

Personal Preference. Those that have used both, most will chose EFIlive. I have had them all and will always prefer Live for the customer support as well as the Scan Tool. If you have any questions, feel free to give me a call and I will help you out.

I have to agree with most everything that's been said in this thread. They are both about the same difficulty to use, but once you start using one of them and figure out how to do stuff it will seem easy to you. It comes down to which has the futures and the interface you like. EFILives demo is great, it's the full version of the software and really gives you a way to "feel out" the way the tables are laid out. With live you will also get the ability to do stand alone logging of days (if you where to choose), reading of PCM and writing to PCM (shortly ) with V2. You wouldn't even need a laptop. To me that the biggest reason I would buy EFILive over the others if I was doing it again. And if your ever thinking about getting a Dmax, EFILive has a BIG jump in that area as well, The guys over on the diesel place are doing amazing things with tuning. There is lots of help with both platforms, I don't think you'll be left struggling with question from either party. If you have any other question, feel free to ask me as well.
