Efi Live Is EFI Live hard to use? I was looking to tune my own car instead of having it tuned at 300-500 bucks a crack. EFI Live looks like a good program to use since it also had the ability to scan and log data. Are their any users out there that can lead me in the right direction. I heard it's pretty easy, do I just hook it up to a desktop or should I use a laptop. Are their preset tunes I can use as guide lines for my set up?

EFILive is very easy to use, and the best tuning suite on the market. However, learning to tune a fuel injected vehicle is quite a steap learning curve. www.efilive.com and www.forum.efilive.com will get you a wealth of information fast. With the V2 interface now available, you will not need to lug a laptop in the car with you.

I use EFILive to scan my wife's GAGT.
It should be able to scan your Bonneville.
You can try out the software in demo mode, download and install from here:
http://download.efilive.com/software...16_540_467.exe
you can use it to view the [real] sample tunes and logs.
There are some pdf tutorials too (look under Help).

Yeh, as TA said, soon the V2 FlashScan will be able to do both blackbox flashing and blackbox logging... i.e. no need to lug a laptop around anymore;
and it takes an SD memory card where you can store LOTS of logs and tunes (I have a 2GB card in mine, that's good forever).

Can I use it to delete certain sensors that are no longer needed. What about the rev limiter and stuff like that? Can I control everything or at least close to it?

There's something like 600 or so tables for F-body and Y-body.

like a digital read out? What's a road runner? I just was about to buy one and now I am confused on what parts I need. I thought I was just going to buy a V2 and be done with it. Will a Lc1 work directly with a V2? Or should I just buy a LM1 instead for the digital read out. And on this V2 how do you view all this data if you don't need a laptop like it claims? Sorry guys, didn't know their was so much to this thing.

Its so easy, a caveman can do it...
Or in this case...any clown can do it...

Download the demo, you can get a feel if you can follow it or not by playing with the software before you buy, thats what I did.
