Which package should I buy...which enhancements (1 bar/2 bar)?
I'm assuming my PCM will run the 6.0 with some tweaks, is this right?
Don't want to run duplicate threads, so reply here:

New to the tuning world, so any advice from you guys would be greatly appreciated, even though I'm a truck guy!

Thanks!

You probably want the 2 bar package. You could just buy the regular package and see if you're maxing your maf out first too though. The switch to 6.0L will not be a problem.

So you don't have to buy the upgrade at the same time as the rest of the software?

Before you commit to HP Tuners, you might want to try l;ooking at EFILive's Flashscan.

No, you can buy the regular software and they send you an installation cd. When you're ready to upgrade you paypal them and download the upgrade off the website. I'm not sure if there's a discount for buying it at the same time.

HPTuners is a ripoff for 2 bar, Flashscan has free 2 bar! I have to tune 2 turbo cars. That makes HP cost $550 more the EFILIVE!! You can also tune any year! I like mine alot.

Our 2bar product is the only professional 2bar product available, period.

We have a true 2bar product that is more advanced than anything available and is also easier to install than any other 2bar package as well.

You pay for what you get. If you want a real 2 bar package that is easy to setup and easy to use, then I highly recomend using our 2 bar product.

You don't see our customers posting on here asking for help implementing their 2bar product from us either. Can't say the same about other 2bar products. Now, imagine if you're a first time tuner, obviously ease of use is very important.

Steps are the same for both products. Both require flashing a custom OS. While minor details are being worked out customers get it for free to use NOW. Not 6 months later....

A few more cells on the ve table is a far cry from professional. Both packages offer dual spark maps and 2 bar functionality. You are biased

All I hear you TRYING to say is blah blah blah my product is the best thing since sliced bread. Where is 2.0? How about that? Can we get a date as to when it is going to be released.


Oh and Welcome to 2003

I'll just say this. I've seen posts like this before and I've also seen HPTuners post up that their product is the best, etc., etc. I'm only giving feedback here, but this was one of the reasons I bought EFI Live. The other was black box logging with FlashScan.
