I've had great luck with HP Tuners.

It has great recovery software too. Just today the dyno operator turned the ingintion off while I was writing a program. Turned it back on, rewrote the file and it was good to go. If I was using ls1 edit i'd have one dead pcm, dead car and a pissed customer

Thanks Black

I learned a lot from those post and yet i feel more confused now than ever.
Hehehe

Since you're an EFI man.

I just read a post that says it alows you to shoot different parameters to the car while its running? True or false???

Can you shoot permanent tunes with it though?

Much apreciated Thanks Mike

With EFI Live you are able to adjust certain parameters with the Bi-Directional controls for quick on the fly adjustments.

www.efilive.com - download the demo version of their software
www.hptuners.com
Search this forum!

EFILive/Flashscan and HPTuners are the best. The two companies will take turns "one-upping" each other, but who ever you choose, you can't go wrong. You need to choose which one will be best for you. And, if you just have the money falling out of your ***, buy both and tell us which one you think is best.

Personally, I use Efilive/Flashscan.
