whats the most newby compatible tuner new to tuning period, want something that can save the default settings in the computer, and then be able to set a few different setups. and its gotta be fairly easy to understand.
You'll find that hptuners has a library of flash demo's made up for everything from fan temp settings to 3 bar custom operating systems http://www.hptuners.com/help/getting_started_demos.htm they also have a large help file that can help you answer many questions www.hptuners.com/help as well as a member base of 4600 on their forum.
EFILive also offers tutorials and help within the software. Use the link in my signature to dload the demo software and check it out. And with new lower pricing you cant go wrong

+1 for EFI Live. It's like navigating Windows Explorer. Each window has a brief description of what the table does. Great support on the forums here and at their site. Tuning is an ongoing learning experience, so don't be afraid to get started. That way when you really mod your car to all hell, you can tune it yourself.

EFILive is by far the best LSx tuning suite on the market.
Hey Foff - have you updated your comparison sheet yet?
HP Tuners is definately the choice for you.
It has an easier to use interface in both the editor and scanner, and also gives you more licenses and allows you to tune more types of vehicles with the base purchase.
Here is a comparison of the two products found in the sticky of this forum:

HP Tuners does, and only HP Tuners has 2bar solutions for both the 98 Gen3 based vehicles as well as the 05 GTO, if you ever plan to boost your vehicles.

You would not need to purchase credits up front to tune your vehicles. The 98 will require 2 credits to license, the GTO will require 4. VCM Suite comes with 8 so you'll have 2 remaining to use as you wish, whenever you like. If you decide to use our 2bar or 3bar VCM Enhancements when you boost your vehicles, the 2bar license is 2 credits per vehicle... so if you also 2bar'd both your vehicles, then you could use your 2 remaining credits but would still need to purchase 2 more through our website.
Once you license the vehicle, you can tune it an unlimited number of times.
Hope this helps.
With the Pro HPTuners you can log four extrenal input and output two extrenal signals. Which you can log a wideband to accurately correct your fueling. The Standard can not, that is the only difference.
