VaraRam or Blackwing? Kook's or LG's? Tuner wars? I have EFILive and I love it. I don't have experience with HPT, but there are lots of guys using that with great results.

I played with the demo version of EFI before purchasing HPT and honestly I liked the EFI interface a bit more. I went with HPT because it was cheaper and the user base seemed bigger. I don't regret my decision butI will say that EFI has wide band support out of the box and it is an add on to HPT which pretty much makes the price of the two systems even. I liked HPT's old licensing system better but they have changed it now. Both are great products.

I love watching these threads grow. Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with either. You should find the one that is easiest for you to understand and use.

I liked the old licensing better too. The new HPT 2.x interface really kicks.

Both products will get the job done, choose your poison.

EFILive has their own editor now -> FlashScan. Lightyears ahead of LS1Edit.


EFILive and Roadrunner -> Realtime Tuning, i.e. On the Fly is the Ultimate!!
