EFIlive or LS1 edit?
EFIlive or LS1 edit? I've been reading on both these products and both seem to be good. EFIlive looks to be a little better though. Can EFIlive adjust for diff rear gears? Is it worth the extra money over LS1 edit? Any info is appreciated.
EFILive/FlashScan can adjust for gearing, tire size, special corvette parameters due to the transaxel, etc. I would not buy LS1Edit nor could I recommend it to anyone at this stage of the game. There are better products on the market representing a much better value to consumers now.
All my best,
Steve

As mentioned... edit is not really a choice anymore... for the price you don't even get decent scanner... and the licensing model is VERY restrictive
I've been using HP Tuners for almost a year now on my TA and GTP (www.hptuners.com -> board sponsor as well) and have been very happy... the scanner integrates in w/the tuner so much better solution than edit and autotap...
The licensing structure is very nice and lends towards high resale value (you pick 2 models they support... you can then tune ANY of those... so if you buy a 98 F-Body you can tune ANY 98 F-Body (V6 seperate from LS1) ... if you then add on a 2000 GTP for example.. you can also tune any 2000 Grand Prix ... )

I think some people got off the thread.It says efi live or edit i didn't here hp tuners.Hp tuners has been on the market longer than efi live tuning software and i don't think your going to get a good comparable answer.I have bought efi live and have not used it yet so i cant say how great it is.The one thing that sold me is the data box without a laptop.Ive been to the track and laptop gos dead because of long staging lanes.Im big into data so that is important to me.And efi live will recover a crashed computer just like hp tuners just like ls1 ldit will not recover a crashed computer.If you make a choise i think it should be hp tuners or efi live.Good luck

I like EFILIVE better than all the other stuff I have , 98 will be a free update for users who have bought efilive from what I see on there website as it is being developed by the users rather than the efilive guys who are going to support it.

I also prefer Efilive over LS1edit and Hptuners , I have bought all 3 over the years to do my car and much prefer the interface of efilive , as well as its datalogging abilites both with the laptop connected and the blackbox logging.
The will all do the job required but I got stung on LS1edit with their upgrade policy , then got stung buying Hptuners that came out a few days later with the enhanced interface and a similar upgrade policy.
Efilive give me free upgrades for life which I like

Where on their site does it mention not working with 98 PCMs? I'm slightly miffed after purchasing it only to find that I spent a **** load of money on a paperweight.
I can not believe that my car is now sitting motionless until the very customers that spent all that money on a supposedly robust product write the code for the product THEY PAID FOR!!!!! Holy **** batman, what is wrong with this picture? If anybody here is from EFI Live.... bad show.
