Just wondering. im buying some books to study up and finally learn how to tune efi. any suggestions or advice is aloud :beer:. i plan on maybe takeing a class as well which is not very long class basically just a crash course.
Depends on what level of learning you're referring to. I was able to tune my car pretty well with no support after about a month. However I'm still learning new things. And I'm not as hard core as some of the guys on SCT's forum.

Did you just read some books or take a class. I'm a fast learner on this stuff why I was gonna try it on my own
Just go slow... don't be suprised if you blow something up. Most tooners make mistakes along the way.
:uh oh: lets hope it doesn't come to that! i understand timing and afr and knock! might put me in a safer place
Just don't get greedy and be patient. You'll be fine.

How does Don's book compare to SCT's? Don's book is half the price but is it half the book?
Before you think that is a totally outrageous price, think of this: the SCT dealer software can cost upwards of 20k for all vehicles all years, updates by vehicle group when new model years arrive can be as much as $500. Add to that the $20-40K dyno, diagnostic equipment, Lab grade wideband, vehicle lifts, heating, materials, taxes, salaries etc. etc. and then factor in the difficulties a shop might have if your car lets go on the dyno during tuning - and that DOES happen to the best shops for no fault of the shop's and no tuning errors - unknown engine defects, clogged injector, etc. But try to explain that to the customer and you see a need for expensive liability insurance - IF they can get it. So the cost of all this is built into the tune. Most shops are barely scraping by and I don't know of any shop owners that are millionaires.
