MN C5 Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Do yourself a favor and get EFI Flashscan instead HPT V2 was announced almost a year ago and still isn't out..... If you've got a FI setup I'd opt for EFI unless your sold on HPT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Never used HPT, but with the integrated tune/scan of Flashscan, its awesome. Not sure if HPT can do autotuning, or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6.0ss Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 HPT has a new 2 Bar FI upgrade for 299 that gives tons of help with tuning the FI and NOS applications, But lots of people are saying to with EFI live, From the searches I have done. People are pretty mixed when choosing which one is better, but I like the idea of the flashscan tuning with EFI. I have not bought yet. But I am going to. Some thing I have to consider is that HPT has lots of support here in the midwest with Zippy and I have a relationship set up with Allen Nelson as well who is using HPT. Who is going to help me with EFI Live??? Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan06SS Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 does EFI live have any advantage over HPT or vice-versa... seems to me you'd get about the same thing from either program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Do yourself a big favor and don’t let Allen touch your tune. Zippy is by far a better tuner then Allen, I have first hand experience to even back that up.

.justin. Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Who is going to help me with EFI Live??? Joe <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A lot of the guides and write-ups you may find regarding HPT can be applied to using EFI Live with just basic common sense. EFI Live's forums are fairly active and discuss a wide range of topics, just as you would see on HPTs site. And if you really want to learn your sh!t, EFI101.com will be giving courses on LSx based engine tuning using EFI Live in the not-so-distant future. I'll find out the set date in a few weeks and post it up along with whatever other info I can get out of the owner. See if I can put together a group rate if I can get a few more people that would want to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be bouncing Ideas off of zippy as well as logged runs. Zip Runs HPT and has great success with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for where to get it and who will help you with it, I would go with Jesse @ Wait4meperfomance.com He is a great guy and a heck of a tuner.

6.0ss Posted September 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 I love how this has changed topics into that I should buy EFI Live and not HPT. Zippy is my tuner and He is using HPT. so in that regards it does not help me at all to get EFI live. I am going to make the plundge to buy HPT tomorrow!

I spent last Saturday afternoon with Zippy and feel like I have a whole new truck now from when I was running on my Nelson tune. I'm not trying to badmouth anybody and I concede there's a definite advantage to a custom tune over any mail-order tune from anyone. That being said, I am sorry if this amounts to vendor or administrator praise but nobody but Zippy is touching my programming from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody can mail you one that is the "best" for your truck without taking a ride in it themselves after the tune is loaded. Most tuners out there do more business mail order than they have people close enough to drive to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most tuners out there do more business mail order than they have people close enough to drive to them. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think most mail order tunes can be attempts at custom tunes, based on the tuner's experience with similar or same mods on other vehicles. A lot of guesswork based not on your vehicle but past experience. I think a true custom tune has to be done to and on your specific vehicle/combination so the tuner can see first hand the response of a particular vehicle to changes in tuning parameters. It just seems that any two vehicles, even stock, are seldom the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
