Default confused Which version?

I have been looking at EFI live. I see ther are several types. Is the personal version good for my purposes? (tuning and flashing, deleting stuff like EGR skipshift and rear 02's) Would it be alright even for drastic tuning like heads cam & NO2 and stuff like that?

The personal version will do anything you want.

The next step up (commercial) lets you change operating systems so you can use their custom 2-3 BAR systems if you have a blower/turbo car, most people wont need that.

Next step is the unlimited number of cars version (workshop) if you own a shop ot tune a LOT of cars

You should have no problems at all with your mods for only using the personal version.

So if I understand you correctly there's no provision for 98's? Their web sight is kind of ambiguous about the 98's.

Yes, they DO support 98's. In fact you can tune as many of them as you want to w/out using any licenses.

Just no custom OS's for them

not for custom OS's I don't believe so at least...when they first came out with the software for it(97-98's) ~3-4 months ago they said they might do some in the future but the code is different so they didn't give a timeframe.

os means Operating system

The computers in our cars are worthless without an operating system, It tells the computer what to do. Just like a desktop computer with windows.

The custom modified operating systems allow us to do things that otherwise where not intended to be done with the original one. Like extra tables.
