    getting NELSON tune VS EFI live

    anyone have anything to share, i think the efi live is deffinalty the bang for the bug, anytime you change a cam or anything you dont have to send it in, for sure very fun on the new duramax lmm motors.
    how much diffenerce did you actually feel, see quite a few of you have it on your signture.

    Nelson uses EFI live or HP tuners.. All in all the same thing.. Not sure if he is using the auto cal or not, but his mail tunes are pretty damn close..

    ok so compared to paying 400 for the efi live software and then 100 for the liscense for that vechile, just pay 300 spend my ecm to nelson's and everytime i do an uprade just send it to him for a free upgrade? sounds good,

    And you don't have to send your PCM to him for upgrades. He sends you a new tuned PCM and you send in your "core".

    a few of my friends like the hptuners software better on the lsx motors because they said it allowed them to be more precise on their boosted or sprayed applications, where as they said the efi live performed better on the duramax
