    I'm guessing EFI Live is a 60-80 hour week project for each of you, if not more and others I'm assuming (sales staff, etc.). Not only must one or both of you program, one or both must run the "office" side and both of you more than likely look at the expenditures and sales / accounting.

    Craig Moates seems like he works 100 hours per week so it wouldn't surprise me if you told me you did the same. Running ANY business is no easy task, unless of course you are a crook.

    Regards,

    Eric

    If you could only unlock the PIDs of a female mind. Some one said they though GM winged some of those tuning values!!!! Imagine what we would find in there. The real trick would be returning it to stock so you could trade it in, or worse take it back to where you bought for warrantee work.!!!!

That was a great forum, I remember all the guys from all the other tuning companies were on there as well (Edit, HPT, TC).
    At that stage he lived about 15mins from me. One day we decided to try to make a tuning program for LS1's, probably sometime in 02/03, he then decided to move to New Zealand . At that stage EFILive was an after hours task, not our full time jobs.

    2 - We weren't in the tuning business before this, we were hobbyists too.

    3 - Scanning not sure, but for the LS1, LS1Edit was the first PC based tuner, hats off to them, no matter what people say about it, it opened up the LS1 aftermarket world like no other product did.

    We both come from the era when 'tuning a chip' meant using a hex editor, no fancy 3D graphs back then, compared to what people used to use back in the 90's, EFILive has certainly made the modern tuners job a lot easier.

    Hey Ross I'm writing a 6 page paper on EFI Live for a composition class for a college class I'm and would like a history of EFI live and how it has evolved into what it is today from one credible source. I am very into tuning with efi live and when the opportunity came up to write a paper on something that interested me I knew immediately what I wanted to write it on. I took Zach Fullers class 2 years ago. if you could answer a few questions that would be awesome
    First: I want to know more about you and Pual personally. things like when and where you were born and raised what you guys did for a living, how you met and what led you to get into tuning.
    2: what gave you the idea of making a business out of efi tuning when the market was pretty well non existent at the time?
    3: How did efi live evolve into the diesel side of tuning and who was involved and contributed?
    4: How and did the idea of making the v1 come to you and when was it released to the public?
    5: What made Paul move to New Zealand??
    I'd also like to include some info on the forums and how the forums have helped fix bugs and the helped the r&d side of the tuner and software.

    This would help me out so much and would really appreciate if someone could provide me with this info!!!
    Thanks so much,
    Kaleb Jones

    If your "Googl-Fu" was high you might have found this page... https://www.experts-exchange.com/members/zebada.html
    Although that's about 10-15 years out of date
