EFILive Beta First Impressions

pretty excited to see this on the market and what it can and hopefully will do for the cummins tuning world
 
Got a pull next Sunday...I'd like to have a good tune in the puller hopefully!!!

Hint... hint..... wink.... wink.... Cindy!!!
 
sounds like it might be closer than we think, just makes a guy wonder if you have to dyno tune your truck with a Smarty SSR I wonder how much time will need to be spent with EFI to dial it in? or do you think it'll be easier since it shouldn't just be a "guessing" game

Almost. The V2 is not licensed to the vehicle. You would need the cummins tuning suite (I believe they are calling it) for the V2. Which is part of the purchase price. The original purchase of the V2 also includes 2 licenses. Once you use one on an ECM it is locked to that ECM and can only be loaded and unloaded with that original V2. You could use a different V2 later, but would have to use another license for that V2. Logging can be done with any V2 if the tune is not.......locked by the writer? Not exactly clear on that point though I believe Rob explained it somewhere in this thread.

No guessing and no dyno time neccessary. Dyno could be helpful though. The thing about Efi is you will be able to take it for a drive and log it whenever you choose. What most guys don't realize is that the guessing game will be a thing of the past.

The simplest explanation is that you need to mate a FlashScan V2 to an ECM. It's that UNIQUE combination of THAT FlashScan hardware and THAT ECM Serial number that exclusively uses a license. (ie the license is exclusive to THAT PAIR).

You are not restricted to a 1 to 1 ratio, however there is a cost involved in tuning the SAME ECM with multiple FlashScan devices. (and for the purposes of this demonstration, tuning multiple ECM's with the same FlashScan device)

You can mate 1 FlashScan to multiple ECM's, using multiple licenses AND/OR you can mate 1 ECM to multiple FlashScan devices, using multiple licenses.

Given the ability to create, email and share files WITHOUT licensing, this process suits 99% of customers in 99% of cases. There are a couple of situations where it doesn't work; namely when the customer doesn't want to tune their truck, so they pay someone to do it, then they decide they want to purchase FlashScan down the track (although they do get 2 licenses with purchase).

For Duramax, most if not all of our resellers offer a starter tune with purchase. To do this, they sell you FlashScan, you download your stock tune and email it to them, they modify and send it back for you to flash. (they don't actually use their V2, you use yours).

Does this explanation help?

Our software will give users the most comprehensive scan tool in the market - you will still need to work for your result though. Download your tune, make a change, reflash it, then LOG the changes. Review and interpret those logs, make more changes and repeat. My best guess would be that over 90% of our Duramax customers make good power and have great street manners in their daily driver without the assistance of a dyno.

Yep they did a great job and I know me and chase have talked theres alot left in it.. just getting bigger and better parts now!.. before I never knew If i needed them but now being able to see that I need them its great. Appreciate all the hard work you guys have been doing!!!
 
Ill be goin up to fleece next week to get it on mine. outlaw, how you think it will do on mine compared to yours with my mods?
 
Every trucks so diff. My 4.56 and 35 s killed the feeling. Lol but I would think you could make 700 to 750
 
I think there main focus hsas been logging and trying to get a good first public release before messing with rpm.
 
Im not sure what you mean by harder but im def. Making more power above 3500. Truck pulls so much harder.. Im going to try to get on dyno sometime this week or next.
