Platform comparison

HP Tuners vs EFI Live: choose by controller support and workflow.

Jones Racing LLC supports HP Tuners broadly across the listed GM and HEMI catalog. EFI Live is available only where the specific controller, file format and service workflow are supported. Confirm the exact vehicle before buying hardware or licensing.

When HP Tuners is the clear choice

Choose HP Tuners when the builder or product names it, when your vehicle is in the primary J.R. Jones Racing LLC workflow, or when you want the most direct path to the listed GM/HEMI products. The approved hardware is MPVI2, MPVI3 or MPVI4.

When to ask about EFI Live

Ask before purchasing EFI Live hardware or licensing. Support depends on the exact vehicle and controller, and an EFI Live device cannot be assumed compatible merely because a similar engine is supported on HP Tuners.

Current device policy:RTD and TDN devices are not supported at this time. MPVI4 can be added through the option at the bottom of the tune builder.
