: who's running an ATS programmer?

I ordered one and it will be here tomorrow.
Naturally and in the meantime, I decided I should try EFILive instead ...
However, I really don't see myself messing with it other than to occasionally try different tunes for the fun. I don't race my truck, but like blowing off people on the street for fun and tow a bit.
Can anyone convince me to keep the ATS?
The guy at XDP told me "it's just a PPE with a different sticker." Haven't had a chance to speak with someone from ATS to get their point of view ... yet.

Thanks!

I dont think its like the PPE. The programer is the same equipment, but the tunes are totally different. It's still probably a good programer I havnt heard anything bad about them.

Got a chance to speak with someone from ATS ... He claimed it's "the same hardware, but the software is a bit different".
I went ahead and installed it, ran it on level 3 to begin with ... actually quite nice! Better throttle response than anything on my Edge, way better midrange ... I like it!
Then, the next day I set it to level 4 ... HOLY CRAP! The insanity unleashed! Don't know that I'll even have the guts to run it on anything higher ... for now.
Funny thing I noticed ... when loading the programs, one of the initial screens reads 'Hot + 2'. The PPE +2 sells fro a lot higher than the ATS ... for those bargain searchers, this is a good one.

Putting in the Titan tank and Kennedy dual lift pumps tomorrow ... then the TransGo Jr. I think I need it now.:D
