PPE has the best features for your money.. You can get into a PPE Standard for the same or LESS than most of the "big name" programmers. PPE has better tunes, that are low moske high effiency.. cooler EGT's, you can monitor your injectors to see how they are doing, you can check Rail Pressure while driving to see how your CP3 is doing. AND the PPE Standard puts out 225 hp on level4.. Its by far the most superior handheld on the market.

I agree with the PPE but it depends on what you want to do...

I had a hypertech and liked it.
I had a Predator and liked it.
I had a quadzilla and hated it.

The ATS E-power is not the same as the PPE. The PPE has a much better written tune.

Cut to the chase. Save your money and buy EFI Live if your going to continue to modify your truck. EFI is the holy grail of tuning, scanning, and logging. Unlimited tuning. Swappable tuning. Record and playback logs with virtual dashes, monitor 200 parameters......once you have EFI you will wonder why you ever even considered anything else.

If you just need something for economy or towing, go with a handheld.
