Question QUestions on EFI Live???

Ok so i want some tuning, and i know that EFI live is awesome. But is it really hard to tune yourself?? I would love to have it, and learn how to do it myself, but it looks difficult.

its not as bad as it seems, but you can destroy stuff if your not careful, best way is to get it and get some tunes already done and study them and learn the changes made between each.Once you get the hang of it, its pretty straight forward, call us we can set you all up!!!

if you stay within the liits people tell you not to go past and watch your gauges you wont mess much up, and little changes here and there and understanding how to read logs helps out

Its not THAT bad.. basic computer skills are needed. It just takes time to create your own custom tunes. But tuning your own truck is a GREAT feeling. Pride ya know? Also, you can custom tune your TCM.. as in 1st gear delete tunes for drag racing..

Like everyone else said here, it can be intimidating at first, it really helps to have a tune made for you and you make minor adjustments to it to suit your needs.. SUBTLE adjustments can make enormous differences. Good luck!

Well then i might just have to get it then, but it'll have to wait till after i'm done my schooling. Thanks for the input though, it makes me feel much better, and nothing feels better then doing your own upgrades!!
