I'd be in but I got a little one cooking so I need to save the extra unsaved cash. I guess i'll have to stay well tuned to this section to learn what I need to from those who have taken the class. Maybe that DVD will come out

Lol. Priorities.

Well, fortunately for me, it is unlikely that anyone attending the seminar will be terribly effective in relaying all the information that I am providing, so you will just have to take it the next time around.
That is, if there is a next time around.

Still 5 spots available (which, considering how completely confused people are at just reading a single page of instructions on e-mailing datalogs, is simply dumbfounding).

too bad you can't "require" certain people to take this before you'll tune their car.

I actually thought about that.

I might offer just the first day session the next time around to troublesome AP customers.
They probably still wont get it. Or, they will refuse the help.

you should have a compulsory entrance exam. "You must be (holds up hands) this smart to buy my product."

BTW I can't make this session since it's Seattle Beer Week and I'll be otherwise engaged.

But I would definitely be interested in the next session. I'd like to be able to pick up and tweak my maps beyond what you've done at the dyno session. I think I can make some useful fine tuning on the top end.

who is to say that he can't. MAybe Jeff needs a powerpoint interactive instructions link on his web page.

Once you complete the course you get a certificate and include that with your google checkout!

Oh, wait, nevermind. If he does that I won;t get anymore tunes....

Maybe I am alone on this but I can't seem to figure out how anyone is a troublesome AP user. My maps by MM I guess are tuned so perfect that I have never had a problem with any map. In fact I still use V_01 with zero issues. Did I miss something here? Not get off topic but for a year now I can't see how peoples cars don't run right.

The problem is that there is a LARGE contingent of people that wont read/follow the instructions.
So, I get submissions with no logs, bad logs (car is cold, on its first drive cycle or they simply don't log the right thing), no base calibration attached, no answers the to the 11 questions and people that have cars with major mechanical issues - bad coils, vacuum leaks, collapsed MAF screens, botched intake installs, clogged CATs, incorrectly wired injectors and other major issues - who then immediately turn belligerent, threatening charge-backs or simply refusing to even read the e-mails I send to them explaining what they are doing wrong.

I have never had problems with Jeff on the calibrations, maybe only on having to wait without updates but that has been fixed and I am a happy camper. I just want to learn how this all works and maybe even learn to tune my own car. Tuning is something that has always intrigued me so maybe this will shed some light on it all.

Went well!
Part one was an "introduction" to the basic software.
Part two (tomorrow) will be a lot more "dense" as we will be going over all of the functions of the Tuner software.
Part three (next week) is when all hell breaks loose.

Everyone that enrolled over the past few days, look for an e-mail tomorrow with the link to the seminar.

We switched to DimDim from Adobe because of the multiple video link + audio that it provides. The e-mail link will be active 15 minutes before the start of the actual seminar, so feel free to log in and get your workspace organized.

You wouldn't want to do that.
Part two was very accelerated.
Part three is going to be absolutely a whirlwind.

I'm not gonna review anything and you already missed a bunch of important "gotchas" in the software.
