Official: Why EFILive is the BEST Tuning Solution
#62
thanks for the great reply's especialy jub jub,
my car is doing the same as you describe, i guess the problem with the Dyno 'tuner' is that he would have to spend to much time at low to mid rpm's to tune it? and thats not what there really looking for? not bashing them just it seems there end result may one sided.
And Bink, you explained it well to thanks. Skip

Skipper, the problem is that part throttle tuning is much more time consuming than WOT. Also, most shops don't have the right dyno to tune PT. PT is more than just getting the VE right (think spark).
Since you are empowered with EFILive, you may consider locating a suitable dyno and renting it so you can accurrately dial in your PT and WOT. Although, I gotta admit, I've found desolate back roads a much cheaper alternative when dialing in PT.

With the current 1.2 FlashScan interface you can have up to 25 VIN's per cable I believe, and with the soon to be released V2 FlashScan interface I believe that number will increase markedly.

Its PCM specific and not limited or locked to a particular model. Those two licenses can tune anything from diesels to to 97 corvettes http://www.efilive.com/downloads/dow..._vehicles.html they are listed by OS number instead of model because the os numbers expand across different models and years.
Eg the 2001 Corvette is the same OS as the 01 Camaro/Firebird and some trucks. You can also view http://www.holdencrazy.com/EFILive to get a better idea of what is supported
I forgot to add tuning ALL 97/98 are free and dont require ou to use a license

Country Boy - as Bill pointed out, EFILive comes with 2 VIN specific licenses on the initial buy in. And as Tordne stated, additional licenses, up to 25 per cable can be purchased for the V1 cable interface.
I realize you meant no harm in with your initial question, but I would ask that all users posting in this thread do your best to keep your post specific to EFILive. Many post in the past have started off great and quickly gone to hell when the EFILive vs. XXXX type post were made. Not trying to single anyone out, just re-iterating so this thread will remain un-locked

Below is a link to a video produced by AutoTap starting one of the professionals from the EFI University (www.efi101.com).
The video is a very good introduction to the EFI Live product and some of the basic capabilities. Would be a good view for those that are new to (or are considering) the product(s).

Being a video this is a good sized download, so go grab a coffee as well

The vettes are getting cheap now and I may consider buying one in a couple of years so it maybe worth spending. I do like the idea of unlimited upgrades etc for efilive versus the competition. I think that's crazy you only get one year of updates.

Actually, I just saw your sig. If you are wanting to tune your 98', then you are set right off of the bat. You can tune unlimited 98's with EFILive as they don't use up a license. That will leave you an extra license for your vette later on. So you will be able to tune both and not pay anything extra.
