I want to know who uses what. I just want to see what is most popular as well as know who I can ask questions to. I just ordered a laptop and EFI Live. Should all be here by Friday So what do you use and do you like it?

 

EFILive for me, In my opinion, its better suited for forced induction. I really like it. After seeing what I could do with EFILive, Thunder550 sold his HPT and is buying my V1.2 cable, so I can buy a V2 cable when they come out. He has been tuning his Radix's truck with it and is really liking it . My little boosted 4.8 runs great with all my own tuning.

Just ask Thunder whos truck was faster last Friday night

 

Been wondering this for a while now. I met someone at a car show who has twin turbos on his old Chevelle with an LS1 in it. He uses EFILive too and told me I'd be better off with that over HP Tuners.
The choice between the two has we waiting for more information, its hard to go off of just a couple of opinions.
I was going to get HP and split some of the cost with a buddy on the second year choice, does EFILive come with more than a single year to tune like HP?
How does one compare over the other as far as easy to use?
What about EFILive is better than HP, especially for boosted engines like you said above.
Just trying to get some hard facts here if you have em.
Thanks guys.

 

EFILive all the way. I asked the same question about a week ago. Who was better and why? EFIlive goes more in detail. ex. timing tables. I'm not 100% what all is better but I do remember hearing some things about customer service too. I've never dealt with them but thats what I hear.

 

I never learned to use HPT in-depth, so my switch to EFI Live was partially for the more thorough-looking interface and partly because Kyle is here and could show me some of the things to get into. I am more comfortable with EFI Live in the 3 weeks I have playing with it than I ever was with HPT in the 5 months I had it. The 2-bar map with a custom OS was totally worth it. EFI Live seems to have a much better user interface, I like the layout (Windows Explorer style) much better than the one in HPT. It is also more explanative (if that's a word ), which helps a tuning noob like me out a lot.

When I initially bought HPT I had the standard interface cable, and I considered upgrading to the enhanced cable for $200 or whatever it was, but at that point I would have spent just as much on HPT as I would have on EFI Live, and from what I had seen Kyle doing, EFI Live seemed much more thorough.

Yeah yeah I was pulling double-duty as a Hibachi that night. That's my excuse and I'm stickin to it.

 

The only reason I could see getting HP at this point would be the help I would get from Allen Nelson since he is using HP. I wonder if he also has EFLive or uses HP exclusively. He did tune my pcms for me to this point and said he would help me get up and going if I did but HP, wonder if its still an option for me or is EFLive so good I don't need any help??
decisions, decisions......

 

Hptuners has had "autove" since its inception over 2 years ago

Flash tutorials on how to convert to a 1 or 2 bar SD setup is slightly easier then the pdf file efilive allows you to read through
http://www.hptuners.com/help/demos/1...sd%20apply.swf

To anyone thats considering the two I would say find two locals so you can look it over for yourself...in my limited use of the efilive demo I've found hptuners to be much easier to navigate. Thats not to mention the hundreds of dollars of price difference if you want a 2 bar custom OS with hptuners coming out on top.

 

any reason why?

 

did he mention any reason why?

 

I'm sorry, I didn't realize that. I don't want to be spreading information that isn't true....I will edit my above post.
