This is a C&P from another thread, think it'll help others too. Tim
No...EFI live is not capable of doing what the Co-Pilot does. You can "imitate" what the copilot does with EFI but the Co-Pilot does something not controlable by the TCM. It increases clutchpack Apply pressure based on engine load and controls the Torque Converter lockup. (IE: TPS reading and MAP readings primarily is what it looks at)
A VERY common misconception is that EFI can do exactly what the Co-Pilot does. Not the case.......With EFI Live, you can quicken the timing of the on-going and off-going clutches which feels like a firm shift, but in all reality, what does that do for your actual apply pressure to your clutches?? Nothing. Without pressure, it can still slip. EFI is a FANTASTIC program but does not have the capability to regulate pressures.
The Copilot on the other hand comes with a Solenoid that controls pressure bleed off to increase the holding capacity of the clutches. Because of the higher pressure, this actually speeds up the time in which it takes the of-going clutches to release and the on-going clutches to apply so the result is an actual firmer shift.
Pressure in our EXTREME transmission with a co-pilot can reach 300psi to the clutches which dramatically reduces slip. Just as a reference....On a stock trasnsmission, 5th gear pressure is about 85-90psi. With the addition of only the CO-Pilot, apply pressure will jump to 250psi.
Hope this clears somethings up!
