Is there anyway to make EFI Live read an LS1Edit file??? Ok guys I really need some help. I recently had my car tuned with Ls1Edit. The tuner gave me my 2 tunes on a cd. One NA and my nitrous tune. I have EFI Live. I thought it could read LS1edit files?? Its not letting me open them at all. Can anyone help me out??? Do I have any options?? Please lemme know. Thanks

Aha, so the tuner gave you a tune with no way to load it into the pcm?
that is his bad. Find someone that had a version of LS1Edit that can load into your pcm and redo the process that was successful with the nitrous tune.
You might try EFILives home page to see if they have a conversion utility for LS1Edit files to EFILive.
When I quit using LS1Edit I still had my software so did all my file conversions through my pcm.

I would assume one of the two tunes is in the car now. Read and download that file with your ELILive.
Have the tuner upload file two to your PCM. While at the tuner read the second file with EFI Live.
When finished reading and saving file two , the tuner will have to upload your first tune (the one your arrived with), or since you have the file as an EFIlive file you can upload it yourself. Step two is a good way to test that your upload with EFIlive was good. Your backup will be that the tuner has the file and can upload if yours fails.
Uploading and reading the second file shouldn't take more than 30 minutes. The slow part is LSEdit. EFILive is fast.
I've done this since my orginal files were saved as EDIT files. I have both LSEdit and EFILive.
There are more restrictions with LSEdit since most just have the license for their PCM. I have a 98 and there are no license restrictions for 98's with EFILive.

exactly.. I have the nitrous tune in my car right now. I read that and got it save to EFILive no problem. He saved my nitrous and NA tunes to a cd for me but when I try to open the NA tune it wont open it. I thought efi could open both ls1edit and hptuner files.

Only way to do it is to flash the LS1 edit file with LS1 Edit, then read with EFI Live
EFI Live can only read EFI Live files and raw binaries (format HPT was originally in), same goes for HPT (only HP Tuners files and raw binaries)
But once the flash is on the PCM, any tool can read it (unless it's locked or a custom OS)

Kind of an old post but i had a question..
Say I just got efilive but my car was previously dyno tuned, could i log or scan the dyno tune into efilive? Then change the tune and if I didnt like ti go back?

Yes as long as the dyno tune isnt locked by the tuner.
You can download it save it. Then mess around as much as you like, you can always go back to the saved version you have. (Just make lots of copies initially in case you lose the file and make a big mess)
