you'll need the enhanced parameters version...
Up to you wether you want to get just regular atap + enhanced parameters or spring for EFI Live (better product IMHO... I'll be upgrading my Atap V1 cable to a V2 cable and getting EFI Live this winter)

Yeah, get the EFILive version. It will be worth it. Plus, you can download the latest build of EFILive version 6 now, which is a little easier to use than V5.

Ditto on the EFILive. Its like night and day. I ran autotap for close to 3 years(two different cars) and thought it was pretty good. That was until I stepped up to EFILive. Its not even close. EFILive is so much faster.

On a normal 3rd gear run, I would get something like 8 frames of data, now I'm getting between 70 and 80 frames. Plus it has calculated pids, which autotap cant do. This also saves you the trouble of exporting stuff in to excel, as it does the calculations for you.

Later
