Default hp tuners-tuning school bundle?

I'm about to buy hp tuners pro and came across a bundle with the tuning school learn at home course and was wondering if anybody had an opinion on the tuning school course. I've been reading everything I can find on the net about tuning for a couple years and playing with the demo for about a year. I guess I'm just worried that it will be the same info you can find online now for free and a waste of money that could be put to better use.

forgot to add it is $950.00 for the bundle. The course is normally around $450.00 by itself.

IMO if you are referring to the banish DVDs which I believe you are then they are not worth it at all. The single best way to learn hptuners is having someone show you how it works in person. You learn how the scanner works, what every sensor does, what affects it, and what it all means. Then you can make adjustments a little bit at a time. Anyone can remove TM, change shift points, and rape the PE tables. Really tuning is learning to zero out fuel trims, optimize spark, and find that WOT AFR sweet spot while making it super drivable.

I am not referring to the Banish dvd's but I do have one of his books but it didn't really help much beside one part at the end that actually covered tuning a gm vehicle with hp tuners. The rest of it was pretty generic stuff that most people should already know if they are thinking about tuning.

don't waste your money on it, everything you need to know is already on the internet you just have to search for it and weed out the BS.

use common sense and don't make any adjustments to a table unless you are 100% you know what you're doing... it really isn't hard at all. get the pro version and a wideband

save your stock file before making any changes!

I've already got an aem wideband and just bought a dedicated tuning laptop. I was about to order hp tuners pro and thought I would google it to see if there were any deals to be had and that's when I came across this bundle and decided to hold off until I got some feedback.
