I will throw in my Scan Only EFILive V1 for 125 bucks (new unused) which will allow you to fully tune, so that would be a total of 600 shipped, even cheaper than getting HPTuners...how does that sound to ya? haha.

Best,
Adrian

The $200 is the "license' to use EFILive with the roadrunner, you still need to have efilive to use the roadrunner. (or you can use tunercats with the roadrunner, your choice)

Thanks for the response.

I have an extra licensed version of Scan only EFILive that I never used, all ready to go along with the roadrunner.

Best,

Also, Which one is more user friendly? It seems there is much more info on HPtuners and less on roadrunner. Im torn between which one i should go with. Can someone share some input on this?
Which one would we go with, or which one should you go with? The one you go with should best suit your needs. We all picked the one best suite our needs. Those needs can range from following the crowd, budget, functionality, customer service, etc... Given the investment required to get into tuning, I would strongly encourage you to visit the stickies at the top of this section, locate folks in your area with both products and take them for a test drive, and dowload the demo versions from the respective companies.

Good luck on your quest!
