    what makes EFI better because it cost more than the other software? Both seem to do the same thing? Sorry but I'm just new and trying to figure all this out and it's a lot of money.

    The other software/devices that are out there are inferior.
    The "lower priced devices" do not have external inputs or the ability
    to read/flash without a laptop.

    Make sure your vehicle is supported before you buy.

    printman,

    You can download/install the EFILive V7.5.6.99 software and play with it (view real logs, view/edit tune files) from here: showthread.php?p=105679#post105679

    Have you visited the competitor's forum...?
    Have you played with the competitor's software...?


    That Friday 13th deal from Thunder Racing looks pretty good, it's like 10% off.

    PMJ,

    Have you had a chance to try out the EFILive software...?

    That would have given you a better idea of what it does.

    Also note that the FlashScan V2 interface uses an SD memory card (2GB SD card goes for about $5) to store [many] log files (standalone logging)... and V2 will soon have standalone flashing ability (can leave laptop at home),you can store multiple tune files on the SD card...

    the standalone flashing feature is still being developed.

    Cheers
    Joe
