I'm wondering which to get. Can you help me out by explaining why you went with HP?

Thanks, Jim

I had heard a lot more about HPtuners than EFI live at the time I decided. Im starting to wonder if I made the right choice now The main reason was cost. Both the initial cost, and I have a few friends that wanted the ability to log and tune also. I went in on it with a friend, and I like learning new stuff. Hpt was $100 less than EFI live, but I can tune two years of trucks instead of two trucks. I have an 00, with a 02 PCM, and have a friend with a Tech 2, so anyone'w pcm I want to tune, I can re-program the VIN and tune away. That was the main reason, just the ability to tune for year models instead of just two vehicles. And the extra $$$.

I've have heard conflicting reports and maybe you or somebody else know, but can you still log on vehicle type you don't have support for with HPT?

You can scan, log, reset codes, Check I/M status, read, edit, and share BIN files on any supported GM vehicle but you can only download to the vehicle with the license

bigkid, slowprocess and myself all ordered hpt and i am still happy with the tune and tuning ability over the predator. I know bigkid is going to do some serious tuning with his new setup and as of now he was way happy with using hpt over edit. ease and such.
