    EFILive's customer service is second to none!
    What other company gives the product support we get here?
    Any problem with the software/firmware gets taken care of ASAP
    and I can't count all the options that we have asked for implemented.

    Ross and Paul would be a close second to Kylie and Danni Manogue.

    I can say enough about EFI's customer support. From being a workshop customer and making a living tuning customer support is pretty important. I can not count how many times they have been there when I had problems with EFI, alot of them were my fault. I even messed up a V1 and V2 box over the years and they took very good care of me on both occasions.

    Na, I'm over here in Australia in my little room, I think Paul is sitting in he's new office in NZ counting it all, he keeps telling me sales are slow this month......maybe that is why he has a 2009 SS and I have a 2000 model

    Cheers,
    Ross

    P.S - Just kidding!
    I no longer monitor the forum, please either post your question or create a support ticket.

    Actually with HPT you can now read and scan cars for free now, heard about that one last year or so.

    But still, I chose EFILive over HPT for some reasons that still irke me and they will probably forever so Ill let them go. I like the instant support EFILive offers on this forum and if there's a user reported problem, they get it taken care of.

    I used HP Tuners once and wanted to throw the laptop out the window. The way the table structure/tuning program was laid out was so clumsy IMO. Maybe im just used to EFILive I dunno?

    And HPT's licensing scheme is just flat out stupid. Combine that with inferior tech support, and lack of free software trial/download, and its pretty clear why I will always use efilive.

    The ONLY benefit to HPT that I have found is the ability to compare different operating systems. The rest goes to EFILive.

    Can't you make parameter changes on the fly with HPT w/o resorting to something like RoadRunner?

    Yes, but it cost you another license.

    It would be worth it for me to be able to do that with EFILive rather than have to spend another $800 for RR.
