1.7 hptuners is far better, faster & more powerful than ls1edit.
2.0 once released is light years ahead of ls1edit

IMO, EFILive is hands down the best package out there.

Oh god...someone lock this before it becomes yet another HPT vs. EFI flame fest.

All I'm gonna say is you can buy either HPTuners or EFI Flashscan, and you'd be happy with either.

Both HP Tuners and EFILive are the only tuning software choices to be considered this point in time. They both have there good and bad. LS1 Edit was the market leader and they have fallen form the top by not keeping up with the times. I had LS1 Edit and it is primative compared to HPT or EFILive.

I had LS1Edit and now EFILive FlashScan. It is like comparing DOS 1.0 to WINDOWS XP.
Check out both HP and Flash.

as mentioned... LS1 Edit really isn't even an option anymore... Both EFI Live and HP Tuners have passed LS1 Edit 100 fold in a very short time....

I've used HPT since April 2004 and Love it... use it on my GTP (but I think it's broken... still haven't been able to tune it so it beats LS1s!!!! ) and on my F-Body and many of my friends F-Bodies....

Regardless though... "just say fugedit to ls1 edit" ... it was great when it was the only solution... but now it's been left in the dust....



*reminder... this thread is very civil now so it's all good I'm in Bowling Green Kentucky this weekend for the F-Body Celbration... so only on the net late at night.... if this thread turns to dog doodoo... there will be time outs given (see the sticky regarding tuning software)***
