Can't make up mind on EFI tuner

[JCockerill]

Im gonna pull trigger on EFI live, i just can't make um mind who to use to write tunes. I've looked at Silver bullet and Fleece Diesel. anyone have any input that would help a lot. thanks

Is Silver Bullet run by a guy named Les and is he also working with Anarchy Diesel??? If so, on CF, I have read ONLY good things about Les and Anarchy in terms of EFI tuning and, perhaps even more importantly, customer service.

 

[JCockerill]

yes it is les. not to many using efi live here?

Ive been talking with Les and should be ordering an Autocal with cps5 switch today

 

[JCockerill]

thanks thats what I'm looking to hear, let me know what you think of tuning

 

[AEdelheit]

Well I got a setup form Les, did the Auto cal with 5 way switch so Stock, 12V/MPG, Street, Hot, Race. So far Ive been driving on the 12V/MPG tune which single injection event tune aimed at maximizing mpg. Truck runs good, definitely louder without the pre/post injection event, not a ton of power but been driving conservatively, no mpg figure yet but the lie-o-meter went from 14.5 to 22 so well see. I did a few mile run on the street tune and it was smooth, responsive, good power and did not see any smoke but that was only a few miles so time will tell, after a tank on the 12V/MPG tune Ill run a tank on street tune. We set my tuning up for a truck with a built trans and I have a stock trans so Les just said not to go over the street tune until I get a built trans to be safe.

Sounds good thanks for the feedback. Who do you plan to use for the trans build?

Well been running and playing with EFI live, Cant say it helped MPG at all but I havent done any data logging yet to fine tune it. I just moved up to Oregon from the bay area, bed loaded and hauling a 23' Toy hauler weighing around 9k I got 10 MPG, soooo ya that sucked. Power is good and there is less smoke but cant say it was the best thing I ever did. As for a trans I dont have any plans right now other then hoping I dont have to deal with it for a while!!

how are the other tunes compared to the 12v tune? how is it while not towing?

 

[AEdelheit]

The other tunes are smooth, good power and low smoke. Haven't had a good tank for mileage since I got it that did not have city towing. I just filled up today but it will be 90% around town so well see.
