Default Autotap or EFI Live 5 or Both

I need to get something to use for playing with my car during the week. On the weekend and most times I plan to race I have access to a Snap On Diagnostic tool and at times even a Tech II from the shop. I can't take them home during the week and really don't have access to them. This is going to be something I use when I play with the car but probably ocassionally when I race if I don't have access to the scan tool.

Should I get just the Autotap Enhanced or EFI Live 5 or should I just spend the money and get both. I hate to spend money on either considering I can use my dad's scan tools but I don't want to always be borrowing from him during the week when he needs them.

I too would like to know if we need both. I currently have atap...but It is a downloaded version and it's not working like it is suppose to. Could be just a damaged cable.

My question is, since you can download atap from autotap will you be able to run EFILive from the same cable?

If you get EFILive you need the AutoTap cable. If you have the AutoTap cable then you can download the AutoTap software and use it.

So, as I understand it, you have to buy the AutoTap cable to use EFILive and you are going to get the AutoTap software with that cable.
