New beginner's Tuning Guide (DVD) from Calibrated Success

After lots and lots of prodding, I finally caved and made a training DVD for the GM crew. This DVD walks through the fundamentals of tuning using aftermarket tools on the dyno with live demos for both MAF and VE tuning. I have also included a section on proper fuel injector characterization, along with a data disc with reference data for many popular injectors to take the guesswork out of getting those SD60's (or 80's, or FRPP 30's, or green tops, or....) to work right all the time. Most of the DVD was shot when all I had was brandX GM tools, but I added supplements to each section showing exactly what the corresponding tables look like in EFILive, so no need to worry about the confusion there.

The DVD will be sold through Summit Racing as part number SME-DVD-1. I'm planning to ship this week to Summit, so they'll be filling orders soon after. As an added bonus, I'm going to give anyone who buys the disc from Summit a 100% credit of the disc purchase price toward my advanced GM class within one year. You simply will not find better instructional material out there today and my aim is to deliver it in a clear, accurate, and useful manner. Many thanks to Paul and Ross for helping me get set up with their hardware recently. You'll be seeing more and more EFILive in my advanced classes as we move forward.

Cool...:cheers:...thanks Greg.

So you've realized the inferiority of PPtuners? :hihi:

I will look for it when it comes out.

I have learned a lot from your book(s) on tuning.

Thanks.

I'll be looking out for it too...:D
Disc looks cool!!!

man, i could use that.

Thanks for putting this together Greg. Looks like Summit is taking orders but not shipping until 8/14. Anychance you could provide a preview while we wait?

It looks like a great tuning tool. I just wonder exactly how much of it will directly correlate with EFI live since most everything they showed in the video was Hptuners.

The process is the same whether you're using HPT or EFIlive when tuning. The only difference should be the screens/labels you see in the different windows interfaces. At the end of each section, I show where to find the equivalent tables in the EFILive software. I just didn't go through setting up the custom PIDs/Tables in the EFILive logging tool, since I figure that's already been covered well enough in the help files and on this forum already. What's really important on the DVD is:

1) The PROCESS for properly tuning injectors, MAF, and VE in open loop, and...
2) The EFILive specific injector values that are formatted for direct entry into your software for a bunch of popular applications.

I'll be shipping this week. I have the data discs done for the first batch and DVDs are burning tonight.
