Oh I had a bunch of money then I bought a truck
Now I don't have any money an I'm down on my luck
But when I turn on the key, my heart is filled with glee
And when the black smoke starts to roll, I know I've reached my goal
So when u see me coming down the street u can say there he goes an there he went
I'll be running from my wife, cause she's found out I spent the money for the rent.
LOLOL

i gotta question for you, typically whats the first thing people do to increase power and at what point do you have to bump the tranny up?

For you lb7 chumps a boost increase valve from ppe (best bang for the buck)
an exhaust and a tuner....peolpe say that after 90 hp increase your tranny starts to fail
but I think it's more just depends how you beat on it

EFI is a tuner but it is a custom tuning device. You hook the handheld to your truck and pull the stock tuning out of your truck ecm and then you put it on you lap top and mess and twist some numbers around (be sure you know what you are doing or know someone who does anyone here is williing to help you learn) and your truck can go from 1 hp increase to 300 horse increase depends on how bad you wanna be

"Product Description:

The Boost Increase Valve, is designed for 01-04 Duramax LB7 diesel engines, increases boost pressure from 18-20 PSI to 28-30 PSI for additional horsepower and reduces EGT (exghaust gas tempuatures). Additional fueling may be needed to gain higher boost levels."

Like Jordan said EFI Live is more of a custom tuning software and a handheld you can get tunes made from "Tuners" we have a few here and they are good a what they do. You can also have as many tunes as you want you just load a new one in. Also you can get a DSP2 or DSP5 switch that you have have more than one tune loaded in to the ECM at a time and change with a twist of the knob.
