For your everyday private tuner I'd say EFI Live is probably more favorable, but for your pro tuner that does a number of different vehicles and different models I'd probalbly say HPTuners is more cost effective because they are'nt locked to VIN numbers, Just model types.
Cured 5.7, we don't shoot people around here. :lol:

We are glad you noticed the visual differences, hopefully you also picked up on the massive difference in the most important part of tuning software, the scantool.

I would just like to comment on the EIO HPT has, yes guys, I know you are probably reading this. :o
We both have A/D inputs for WBO2, the output drivers with the HPT interface were in my opinion not thought about too hard before implementation. I can't see the how you could use the outputs for anything serious, like NOS, additional Fuel pump, shiftlight etc because you have to have the scanner running for it to work :roll:
That was one of the reasons we came up with the black box logging, to get that $3,000 laptop out of the car!!.

As for your EFILive Pro version observation, I think you must be misunderstood, if you buy the Workshop version there is no locking, you can tune ANY LS1/6 vehicle we support. It's the personal version that is locked to a PCM, but then that PCM can be from any vehicle as well.

We also have a Type K Thermocouple input as well as the 2 x A/D channels, so you can measure anything from your A/C's temp upto exhaust gas temps with the thermocouples you probably got with your dyno.

Hope that clears thing up a bit.

Cheers,
