Ordered EFI Live last night
Should be in friday or saturday. I can't wait. I've never tried tuning before but I have a good feeling. I hope this works as good as everyone says. The new setup is hard to keep running on the old 5.3 tune! Big thanks to Jesse at Wait 4 Me. Awesome service.

Youll love EFI man. Its not a big pain to learn. The search function is a big time help if you are looking for a certain parameter to change. If you have a wideband you can use auto-tune!! Friend decided to go SD and used auto-tune on his heads/cam LS6 and worked pretty dam well. Got his car to start and idle with little to no effort at all. If you are gonna tune SD at all, I would not TOUCH HPT. Not near as easy to set it up at all. Plus the graphs suck too.
If you so desire, you can upload custom OS's to the PCM with EFILive.
Nonetheless you will be happy with it. I am for sure.

Matt, Like I said, I new at self tuning so I don't know much about hpt or efi. I was wanting hptuner, but started talking to someone about efi and made the decision. Kinda glad I did bc I hear nothing but good things about it. I just can't wait to try it out. I know I can pull a couple tenths outta this animal.

I too was thinking about getting HPT to start with, cuz that's what I heard about mostly on these sites. Then I stared really researching it and I found I though I would be happier with EFILive, so I got it. And having Jesse to help me when I get stuck with something has really been worth it. One of the biggest things that turned me off from HPT was then way the HPT owner/developers always get into a pissin match over on Tech in every thread comparing the 2 products and then they get locked. I don't see the Live guys doing that, they seem more willing to help you then aggresivly defending there product. I also liked to be able to do black box logging and all the free custom os and 2bar stuff since I'm boosteds. I don't do a lot of tuning of other people stuff but its nice to be able to tune on anything else I want to for only $99, it doesn't mater what year it is. I don't have to shell out another 200-300 bucks to help out a buddy, just cuz I didn't have that year's licence. Anyway, that's why I when with EFILive. I'm VERY happy with it!
