Answer : HPTuners & EFI Live & LS1edit are FAR better and are worth the price

We should make a sticky that has a topic of Tuning software that professionals use and list : Hptuners, efi live, ls1edit and then keep opinions of what is better to the individual that uses whatever software he/she likes. I see so many questions about these things a week its ridiculous

Ok, here is the problem I have, I don't have the time or desire to spend hours tuning it myself with software, and I don't trust some guy at a dyno shop screwing with my pcm. The reason I've stayed with the handheld is it takes less than 20 minutes and I'm done. So, how much time will I be spending if I buy software to tune it myself?

I'd also like to state that when I bought the HPP3 a couple years ago I had no idea there was so much more available, I wasn't as resourceful with the web as I am now and summit and jegs only offer a couple options.

The handhelds are an option..i would recommend the Diablo predator handheld rather than the hypertech (my opinion) since the diablo you can email them and ask for a specific tune and they will do it for you

hp tuners will not take long to tune a car at all. just one fast tune will get it all better than hpp3. there are so many spread sheets to export data to to make all the changes for you and you just have to log, copy, paste. if you dont have time get it and there are pleanty of people on here that are more than willing to help and most of the time will shoot you a new tune over in minutes if you send a log file

its funny to watch what unfolds on the net..

you had a point to make that a REAL tune is better...and ALL of the responses have said that. your opinion of the hypertech or any handheld tuner is your opinion..true I also think that they do not prove to be very helpful..however it did lean my car out and gave a little better gas milage..so what hypertech advertises is true.

REGARDLESS, it doesn't take as much time as it seems to learn how to do the basics and get the software to tune yourself.
