Default Help...Several HPTuner questions?

I really like the HPTuners set up over the LS1Edit (based on feedback, no hands on) but have a few questions before I finialize my choice.

1. Will HPtuners support USB 1.1 or 2.0 CPU connection at some point?
(from what I understand it is strictly serial)

2. When will a wideband feature be added?

3. How does the HP Scanner compare to EFI LiveV6?

4. Those with EFI familiarity, how do you think their tuner will compare?
(from what I can tell it will be more $, but will be delivered with wideband and EFI LiveV7)

thanks

The scanner is less fancy than EFILiveV6. However
I have both, and only bother with HPTuners as it
does everything I need (except the bidirectional
controls of the Pro version, which I have and only
(tried to) used once - and at the time the Crank
Relearn function was busted though I think it's
been fixed again. HPTuners sez the bidirectional
feature may be in the next update (believe it's a
$99 upgrade just like EFILive does between std
and Pro).

I don't know about EFILive Flashscan functionality,
anybody who does is not talking. Supposedly in
beta testing but I'm sure those who test are sworn
to secrecy until release. You will get a wideband
input port or three but not the wideband sensor &
electronics itself.

thanks for the input, seems like the graphics on EFI's stuff is a little nicer, again only from what they allow us to download, but I got the same impression as you stated above, that HPTuners does everything needed.

Do you have any insight on USB connectivity? when it comes out will it be 2.0 or 1.1?

how well has HPTuners been with delivering features and/or updates promised?

thanks again

HPTuners. Good graphics. USB connectivity via a serial to usb converter (not included), true USB...who knows. Updates come out regularly.

well it seems like HPTuners is pretty popular around here, that's a good thing in my book; the more users there are the larger the knowledge pool is.

499 gets the full show then, anyone know of any deals coming up?
