me me me me!!!! i personally like it over HPT, it appears more organized and user friendly. its a little more expensive tho. soon they should be releasing more .cal files to unlock a bunch of tables for the ss/sc on top of what they got. IMO efilive>HPT

plus you can go in the back end of the program to log any kind of analog input you could think of. as long as you know how to work the necessary calibrations. for example, im in the process of working on calculations to use a gmeter to calculate a number of different things.

I will send you a pm shortly with a link.

I know there are other tuners that are familiar with this as well.

I have seen other names on their forum that are on here.

I just wanted to know what you thought since you do a lot of tuning. Not trying to stir anything up.

I was mainly curious becuase hptuners is more common.

Ahh ok I figured they were going to use HPT. Well if it all works out for you I might be using the same program.

hpt has better support. the main reason why people use it.

could you do me a huge favor, and look in the transmission tables for the 07 lsj and see if there is anything in there. such as torque management?!?!

I will get some details tomorrow when I talk to the guys. I know hpt has better support. I was just curious to see if anyone has had any luck with this before I gave it a shot.

Come on everyone loves torque management

I will find out though

I would get inline. I would think us 2.2's have more of a chance as were out for 2 years where you were half a year . Ive been told in a few months for 2 years now. Ive given up hope in HPT. Giant market and only trifeca recon. They've made a butt load $$

Any chance of posting a stock or modified .tun file. I've been wanting to pick this up but haven't justified the cost yet.
