Default Valet switch, 2bar support, SD autotune

You guys might want to keep an eye on this.

The new version of EFI-Live scan/tune is about to be released with 2bar support and some other really cool features. They also have some other great features in the pipeline. I think the comercial version is the only one that supports this, but it is only a little bit more expensive than the personal version. You can also add VINs for only $99, so it is possible for several people to share it....

I was going to go with HP tuners, but decided to wait for this. EFI-Live V5/6 has always been my favorite scanning product and their customer service is incredible. They always listen to suggestions and have actually put a few of mine into the product. I have not used the flashscan version, but people who have rave about it.

The hidden valet switch is something I've always wanted. I'm sure they will also have that work as a basic 2step.

I had always wondered why nobody out there was building a solid auto-tune feature. Looks like the EFI guys will be the first to do it. Very cool.

Looks like it's now an official release!!!

BTW, Because some of the new features require a reflash of the PCM, that requires the commercial version which is $150 for the upgrade from the Personal version.

SD w/ single spark map and I think auto tune can be done in personal but dual spark maps, programmable valet mode and adaptive spark only in commercial.

I agree! It is an awesome product. I am looking forward to using the AutoTune feature to dial in my VE. I alos have upgraded to the Commercial version so I can explore using the custom operating systems and 2-bar MAP.

Anyone think this system is better than the HPTuners? Looking to get a tuning system real soon and am leaning towards this one from EFI Live.

I got my EFILive system about 1 week ago and it is simply amazing. I cant wait for the new features in the custom OS's they will make available with their commercial version.

I have been using it so far to get my 50lb injectors scaled properly and my timing map optimized. Will be starting an SD tune this weekend, and with the auto-tuning features it looks to be a snap.

I just did a full reflash of my PCM O.S. from a 2000 to a 2002 to do away w/ the backup VE table and it was a piece of cake..

magdc5,

I assume you have a Magnusson on your C5. Are you planning on running a SD tune using the autotune capabilities?

I used to.. I'm now breaking in a built MTI 370 and have a PTK kit laid out in my garage that I stare at..

I'm really playing around w/ EFILive to get a better understanding of PCM, what it can do and how. If it runs like a champ then great.. Eventually though, what's invested deserves a professional tune. For now.. Yes, the plan is 2bar, SD.. most likely autotuned.
