We offer our VCM Suite package for both GM & Ford and are working toward adding Chrysler support

A full lineup of our supported vehicles can be found here http://www.hptuners.com/products/vcmsuite_vehicles.php

I'm not even aware of a laptop based tuning software that works with Toyota to be honest.

I have Hp tuners, efi live and ls1 edit. I like hptuners the most, but remember, that is my opinion. Each has their part that is better.

EFILive will cover GM.

For shops i offer FREE "no hidden suprises" Training.

I fly to you, Show you how to do everything, AND you have free phone tech support to get you setup and established to safely do any tuning you put thru the shop.

I have trained/showed quite a few shops my way of doing things. It massively takes out the learning curve needed....

You can call me with your questions.

Also if you would like to do fords, I would look at SCT software. It has complete ford coverage and DODGE, they set up base files for you so you have something to start from and they have phone tech support you can call with any issues you have while tuning. Not bad pricing on it at all.

Would you ever do anything in Indy lets say for individual users? Like an EFI Live workshop or conference? Or even a West Coast and East Coast thing. Just throwing it out there.

We use EFI Live and HP Tuners they both work good. I use EFI more just becouse the scan tool is works nice.
