Looking to buy EFI Live from Blackbear and see that he sells "V2 Scan and Tune" and "V1 Commercial". V2 is $320 more than V1 when the email tune is included. My question is, what's the main difference between the two? I will be using it to tune my soon-to-be turbo '01 ECSB 5.3L with a T56 swap. No plans to tune any other vehicles. I have no problem having the laptop in the vehicle for tuning, flashing, and data logging. I would like to have the ability to enable lean cruise. I need to be able to log a 0-5V wideband output. Also need the ability to do segment swaps.

Any thoughts on which version I should go with? Thanks!

 

V1 is for older vehicals. I believe 07 and before. V2 does all the modern stuff too.

If you can swing it V2 is your better option. I would doubt they have any V1 left. I belive it was discontinued and they were "almost out" a year ago when I bought mine. But if they have it listed they may have a few still hanging out.

 

I would check with them to be sure they even have V1's and there web site is current, unless he has a bunch left from when he used them for "cable tunes" EFILive has not sold V1's for quite some time now. They will only work for 98-early07's. For what your wanting though, a V1 will do everything you need.

 

Yeah I send Justin an email about it. We'll see what he says.

 

Yea, the V1 will work.. but the V2 has bunch of more options.

 

I talked to Justin today, he said he has 1 left and as soon as he sells it, he's talking the V1's off his site.

 

Yup, just bought it

He said it will do everything I need, can't wait to start tinkering.

 

What can V2 do that V1 won't? Hope I got the right one

 

a LCD screen read out for scanning with out the laptop.. and a SD port for Black Box Logging.

But i started out with a V1.. you will be fine!

 

Ah okay, I thought you were talking about options within the program. I don't need that fancy stuff, I'll have my laptop in the truck anyways.
