    I have Jet DST, Tunercats I & II and HPT
    Jet is the worst tuning package you can buy. There is no support at all, no answer to emails, nothing.
    The box can only handle 6 vehicles. It comes with 4 VIN licenses, when all are used you can send the box to Jet to add 2 more, but that's it. If you need to tune more vehicles you need to buy another interface box.

    For your needs, HPTuners is your best option.

    I think I had said already that I wasn't a fan of JET products. I forget exactly what caused me to develop the negative feelings, but I just remember that I don't really like the company and won't normally even consider buying any of their products.

    The product itself is good because is based off Tunercats. However it lacks any kind of support, it's almost impossible to get a response from Jet.

    I have received support from HPtuners even on sundays. I have made requests for new vehicles and features and they were always added to a new release in a reasonable period of time. It makes me gladly pay $100 bucks to tune each car.

    Tunercats also has a very good customer support, I have emailed several times and got a response every time.

    Any product is as good as the support you get with it.

    I just downloaded Jet DST last week and it comes with a 2011 5.3 LMG calibration, both the TCM and ECM calibrations to play with. I cant believe how complex these new PCM's are.
    Jet has quite a big capability, as its based of TC2, but doesnt hold you hand like others. No support, but if you have to tune and know what needs to be done, it is effective.
    So happy I snagged TC2. Support from John is awesome.

    peace

    I have to say that so far I still haven't seen any problems with HP Tuners for what I am wanting to do. Overall, they support the 3800 and are still $300 cheaper than EFI Live so that makes it fairly attractive to me. For now at least, I am just wanting to be able to make some fairly simple changes to the wife's car and my truck so I am not worried about more advanced stuff like PCM swaps and things of that nature. I think that my mind is fairly made up at this point, but I won't be making any purchases for a little bit while I get the truck in shape and get rid of my piles of stuff for the firebird.
