I had my car tuned professionally with HP Tuners but I think I want to start my own tuning, I am pretty mechanically inclined and know the basics about tuning but whats the easiest software out there to tune with? If its something else besides HP will it work since my car is already tuned?

EFILive is the best and easiest software to tune with

Our software was designed around ease of use for our customers, with a user help forum with over 9000 members http://www.hptuners.com/forum/index.php our demo's http://www.hptuners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5058 and Real Time Tuning without any additional hardware its also the most complete package with the most functionality out of the box.

Its a touchy subject you bring up, but its always agreed upon that HPTuners is the easier of the two major software packages to work with... just my $.02

EFILive. I have both and never use HPT. The scanner in Live is what makes it hands down the winner.

I agree.....

I have both, the only time I use HPT is when I run across something the EFILive doesn't support.

I have both and use HPT the most. Its easier IMHO. There are definitely things that make it easier.
Like being able to have multiple tables open at the same time. Like being able to open files in the compare feature, that dont have the exact OS, but have similar tables that you may want to reference. In EFIlive, if the OSs dont match, you cant open them in the compare.
Theres also more freedom in the histograms in HPT.
With HPT you dont need a RoadRunner for real time tuning of MOST of the important tables.
On the other hand, EFIlive is a little ahead with the Virtual VE for the E38 PCMs.
Thats just a few things. I'm sure I could come up with more.

What do you mean you can't open multiple tables at once in EFI LIVE.


I'll agree on the compare feature but its in the works for EFI LIVE if I recall

More Freedom in the Histograms... Where?

RTT the way HPT does it in most ways is what EFI LIVE had back in V5 but it was removed for RR. I did request that it get re instated and the boys are looking at it. For now we still have Bi-Di's in EFI LIVE which can make AFR and spark changes in real time too. Not quite as capable as RTT but hey I mainly use it for playing with Delta Spark anyway and it does that quite fine. If I want proper real time tuning, I'll use a RR which actually makes the values stick.

Keep reading and you'll find that generally, all the people who are truly independent prefer EFILive. Better read fast though, this post will soon be removed.

EFI Live here also

Haha, who are the truly independent? The guy that sells efilive or the one with the efilive avatar?



The fact is both are good software packages and IMO ours is bit easier to navigate through both editor & scanner. In the end check out both forums see who's helping and who's active & go from there. You really cannot go wrong with either.

Well then, (seriously) what is specifically better about EFIL's scanner?

ya i seen that pretty much everyone that makes a comment got either efilive or hptuner for avatar or sig

That's the thing, I love my EFI but the forum sucks ***** in my opinion. It seems like when ya post a question there will be 20 people look at it but no reply. There only seems to be a handfull of people on there that will reply and try to help. Maybe it's that nobody knows except for a handful of people.

Im with him.

HPTuners is by far the best! Ive had alot of computers that once u use efilive you can not use any other program on that computer unlike HPTuners!

alright i looked on hptuners forum for tuneing help on the tr224 cam and theres tons on posts but no helpful replies

What specific questions do you have about tuning a 224/112 cam? Usually setting up a decent idle speed & dialing in your idle airflow tables will get you going pretty well. Since your an M6 its really pretty straight forward. Then its a matter of you choosing if you'd like to stick with maf or go SD. Either way our real time tuning custom operating systems will make things much easier since you can change tables like idle airflow, idle spark & such all in real time.

That's because of the question that was asked

There is only one answer: (Re)search and pick what works best for you.

Otherwise, the best is what's in my car

These threads are alway fun though because everyone know's EFILive is the best and anyone that purchased or sells something else get's upset about it!
