new tuner i am new at tuning cars i have been building them for awhile and learning how to tune. now i am ready to buy some software i would appreciate any thoughts or favorites and reasons why it is your favorite.
HP Tuners here, was a user for ~3 years before being hired by them as their support tech and couldn't be happier with our software.
Some of the main advantages are going to be the pricing structure, Real Time tuning using the stock pcm, and larger supported vehicle base including Ford support in addition to only GM.
You can also check out the comparison link in the sticky at the top of this section which points out some of the major features
If you have any questions about our software/hardware or any of its features shoot me an email at bill at hptuners.com and I'll be more than happy to answer them directly.
Thanks,
Bill

If you want, you can download the EFILive software and try it out (it comes with real world "sample" tunes and logs, you don't need a cable to view them): http://www.efilive.com/download.aspx

I am relatively new to it as well. I'm using EFI Live and happy with it. There is a pretty good learning curve with any of them but I don't think you would go wrong with EFI or HP from what I have read.

Car to offer the WHY so your post gives meaning to the original question?
Hp Tuner Pro myself hands down! I like the ease of use. Forum, Books, and classes they have both in person and by home study.
HP Tuners Pro. They all do what you need, just have to figure out which interface you like the best for the money. HPT gave me RTT at a much more affordable and reasonable price for what I wanted.
Plus, I got tired of reading comments like this...
...and at that time, had more information about HPT than EFI Live, so I stopped my search and made my decision. I certainly don't regret it one bit.
I didn't want to hear which one was better, same as this poster, I wanted to know why people preferred one over the other. Stating that your opinion is that it is better because you found x,y,z to be easier to use or a more powerful tool is a good and valid reason. It is much different than saying x,y,z is just plain better and the only choice if you want to do things right.
Sorry for using you as an example vaticano. I understand where you're coming from. I just think people need to start wording things better and quit getting their panties in a bunch. End
It basically comes down to how much do you value individual parts of each program, and how much are you willing to spend for each of them. If you think the roadrunner is worth the money for what it gives you, then that makes it an easy choice. But, if you want RTT, and can't afford to spend that much, HPT is definitely the way to go. I highly recommend the pro if you get HPT.
