EFIlive vs. HPTuners, has anybody used both? I'm looking at some software and these two seem to be the best, has anybody used both? I like the EFIlive for the fetures and black box datalogging, but I like the HPTuners for the multiple vehicle use and large database of users. Any comments would be appreciated.

From a proffesional standpoint I use Flashscan exclusively now , the logging and feedback is exceptional and since I use it on the dyno all day the interface is very important to me.
I also find the feedback from them with regard to issues is very quick - same cant be said for the competition from my experience.
I was involved in the early beta testing so I may be a little bias but the software did help me to get my car into the 10's and for a time be the fastest LS1 in Australia.

Although I have the new version of EFILive flashscan, it's still vaporware for 98's.
Based on past experience from EFIlive, I bet it will be end of year if ever before it's available for 98's since EFIlive isn't doing any of the work to get it out. Privateers are building the software for 98's for free, but EFIlive gets the money for the software...what a deal.
If you have a 98, you still have to pay to get EFIlive like I did, but it's useless for tuning. Still waiting and waiting and waiting for it be finished so I can tune with EFI flashscan rather than just scan. As a result I have paid for software to tune but can't use it so am still using LSedit to tune.
If you have a 98 get HP tuners instead.

I have all three. Each of the three have some features that the others don't have and once you get use to these it is hard sometimes to change. But, I like:
1. HPtuners for tuning
2. EFI for scanning, second to HP Tuners for tuning (just because I am more use to HP for tuning)
3. LS1 Edit....well I am use to it.....but the other two are better.

I have Edit.................nuff said.
I have EFILive FlashScan - Love it. What a huge improvement over Edit. Easy to use and fantastic user support.
I ordered HP Tuners last week but haven't received it yet???

I have both and I am about to start using Live to scan all vehicles and tune my own. HPT will be used to flash after scanning is complete.
HPT ATM doesnt filter out bogus data which to me is imperative to dialing in the vehicle. ATM we are stuck writing excel spreadsheets and pearl scripts that will allow us to clean up any invalied data.
The fact I can make any map/histograms is a big plus for me as it gives me the greatest flexibility when scanning and making decisions on what to tune and what needs to be changed.
