Im ready to get a custom tune for my truck, but I dont know who I should get to do it. Ive heard mostly good things about Wheatley tunes but I recently found a guy who does EFILive/Wideband tuning locally for $175. I dont know much about this program but im sure some of you do. Which is gonna be the most bang for my buck? Any help would be appreciated.
thanks

i think as good as wheatley's tunes are you'd be hard pressed to beat an in person tune done with someone knowledgible using efi-live or hptuners. the someone knowledgible being the big key.

 

depends if you want to take the time to learn it or pay an established tuner for a tune. personally i would buy the efi live or HPT get a tune then learn from there. the efi dealer gave me a free tune to go with the truck when i bought the efi live programe. i have since built and custommized to my likeing.
not to mention the fine tuning i can do as well

 

ONe of the funnest mods you can purchase.....

 

First of all,welcome to the forum!
Just because the guy has EFIlive does not mean he has the skill or experience to tune your truck. I would trust only an established tuner with mine, not to say this other person doesn't but you don't mention his name. Wheatly has a loyal following of customers.
An in-person (live) tune will always be better than a mail order tune, skill level constant.

 

I am the EFILive tuner. I have done several vehicles, but I can understand his concern, I have done a bunch of guys cars in the Southern section on LS1Tech. It's always good to ask around.

 

go with the EFILive
