Have you guys seen this? The price is steep, but it looks like it may be worth it. I know I would sure love some more detailed instruction on proper tuning.

A class is certainly a great idea, but after reading a couple of the pages they display on the website it doesn't appear to be much, just basics. And I am sorry, basics is not worth that kind of money. GRANTED I don't see the other pages. Is the class book for sale?

I did see at the end of one of the post that there is an intermediate book in the works. That would be of much more interest to me.
I've been getting real frustrated with my tuning lately and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Everything was working as expected before the 8.1L injectors went in and then the cam. Now it seems that I can't get anything to settle down in OLSD. I think I get the VE and idle dialed in and then I get back in later or the next day and it's way off again.

If you've been tuning for a year & have already tuned a couple of Forced induction vehicles and a couple of heads/cam vehicles you may learn a few new things but that is NOT who that stuff is geared towards. Its geared towards new users that want to be able to get up and running quickly without having to search through the gobs of information out there, and know why they are changing x & y parameters.

I think it really will depend on where YOU are in your experience...if you are just getting into tuning, many struggle even after a month or two or more to figure things out, I think those people would do much better with something like this rather than an advanced course like banish's class or efi university because it does show you everything specific to hptuners & LSX vehicles, everything from how our credit system works to the customers advantage, how to license a vehicle all the way through how to tune a heads/cam vehicle, Forced induction, to adjusting fan temps and pretty much everything in between.
