Which programmer to get depends on a lot of things, how much you want to spend, the amount of tuning ability you (how many parameters you want to be able to modify), how much time you want to spend learning, etc etc.
Read the "sticky" at the top of this forum, that should help you make an informed decision.
The best tuner programs available are Hptuners and EFILive. Which one is better seems to be a matter of opinion. Just read the stick and do a search and you'll get tons of info

Efilive 98 is complete and will be released shortly "less than a couple days" . It works great! It has more perameters than all the competetors. And it is free with the purchase of flash scan, so you can tune as may 97 and 98s as you want...

Are they allowing unlimited tuning on 97/98s like HPTuners does? I'd be pissed if that were the case since I'd be left with just my 2 licenses.

^^^ From what I understand the 98 product is a free add-on and does allow for tuning unlimited of the 98s (doesn't consume a license) ... someone correct me if I'm wrong
