Either I've made a huge blunder or had a slim streak of brillance

I spent the $ (and lots of it!) and enrolled into one of them EFI tuning seminar/classes....

wanna tune the duster?

ive wanted to take those classes, just don't have the scratch.

I vote for the later. Definitely will be useful for a long time, especially with late model engine swaps happening more.

What class/school did you go with?

Yea, and I'd love to look over the material.

EFI University.

www.efi101.com.

I know they have been around since the "old days" when the only "real" tunable aftermarket system was Accel DFI.

The efi-101 class?

Have you read through the class summary? May help to do a quick review on some of that before going- it's a lot of info in a short course.

In reply to alfadriver:

It's a day and a half. I'd already lived the dealer training days of 200 pages of crap over two days on top of nursing school with "4 chapters" in one day, test the next.

So, day 1 is over with and in the books. Brought the wife as she wanted to know more about what goes on. She isn't the strongest math person, but she toughed it out. I have to go through and explain the math again but it isn't bad. She just doesn't have the math/physics mind for it completely.

Overall for me, it pulled in a lot of what I already knew into a convenient format.

It was nice that the instructor had several and I mean several of the available tuning software options out there to show. All of them work for what they have to do, some are just better than others.

More tomorrow!

Very cool

Awesome. I've always wanted to do something like this, but I keep telling myself I have no practical purpose for it. But I do that a lot.

Thanks for the updates. Sounds like it's worth the investment

There's a class in Akron next month, very tempted to go, but it's $800 and I've been messing with various standalones for eight or nine years now and I have all sorts of good books and I don't really have $800 to blow.

"But if you learn ONE thing then it's worth it!"

Day 2 is finished. Holy cow. If something can go wrong, it did. Biggest hiccup was when the dyno computer quit and rebooted as a pull was going on. It "killed" the MAP sensor for the haltech, but after some finangling, it sprung back to life and allowed class to continue.

We all got a chance to do some steady state tuning on an eddy current dyno, both operating the dyno and sitting in the pass seat tapping away for better numbers. Once all that was out of the way, both fuel and spark tuning, everyone got a chance to do a wot full pull. That was awesome! Lol.

In the end, both classes are well worth it and friends don't let friends modify Neons with 2.4 swaps and turbochargers. Although, 480fwhp is damn impressive on E85 and near 100% duty cycle injectors.....
