    If you are going to use a "hand held", I would say forget both of those and get HP Tuners. That way if you ever decided to go with a Nelson tune, you could send some logs to him and he could update by email. EFI Live would be the next option but I don't think you get very much out of the ones you are talking about.

    Why would he want a handheld???? For about the same price you get WAYYYYYY more out of a Nelson tune. There is absolutely NO handheld out there that will do anything close to what Allen can do. Why waste his money when he can put it in the right place the first time??

    Tell him to sign up on here and see how many people have had a handheld and went to a tune....or just didnt waste the money to begin with!
    Seriously tho if he wants to waste his money tell him to get a TB spacer along with the handheld.

    Just sold my Diablo Predator for bigger and better things. The handhand is over priced for what you get I paid over 300 for a hand held and you could get a tune for that much. Go with Nelson or something eles stay away from the hand held.

    alot of handhelp companies are doing email tunnig w/ the addition of performance mods..... The nice part about a handheld vs mail order is deleting codes... But i would go with hptuner if I knew what I was doing with it....

    HP Tuners and EFI Live take time to learn. If you don't have the time, I would suggest letting a reputable tuner take care of it for you.
