    Im not worried on the tunning aspect ive tuned lots of turbo honda's and a few AEM FIC. Im just looking into options. Ive never understood the HP TUNNERS LOL.

    I just want to be able to tune the truck. I was looking at EFI LIVE also.

    Bang for buck witch one is better?

    As for where in ontario im from. Im from ottawa but posted in trenton. Not to many tunners near me other then one in toronto.

    EFI Live and HPT is all user preference. Last I checked HPT Pro was a lot cheaper. It's also a lot more popular. But then again EFILive has more diesel capability, so it could make you a few bucks up in Trenton. You military guys love your diseasels (assuming Military when you said posted in Trenton)

    You noticed that too?

    HPT is the choice of many reputable tuners out there.

    Standard HPT can datalog too, just only the sensors the vehicle is already equipped with. HPT Pro has a interface for you to add any additional 0-5 Volt sensors on top of OE. Like a wideband o2, egt, etc.

    Ok this is what i was wondering lol. So i looking at getting the PRO and im going to be tunning my 99 nbs silverado with the turbo and hopefully i can tune the 06 escalade with just a tune for the headers and intake.
