The book is compiled well and its a good beginning for a novice. Do not expect much from tech support, like your experience it sucks. An exhaust and intake upgraded vehicle needs to be tuned to get much/ anything out of it and the book will get you there. The hardware cost comes with software and the credits are what they are, expensive. That part is like buying the tools you need and doing the repair yourself. It's an investment and generally use the tools again later. If you only want to tune 1 car, go to a reputable shop, it's cheaper but you won't have the experience of doing it yourself, or the knowledge and tools.
Thats true, I do believe it can use a lot of improvement. I am now having to rebuild my engine. Not sure if it was the tune that did it as I had pretty consistent AFR. But I'll start doing a tear down/build vlog on here so we will see. As of right now the top end is looking good but something went wrong during normal city driving as I was data logging.
Glad I watched this. Not going to order anything from them now after watching this. I’ll save my money and take more time and do more research. Thanks again
I like the idea of having manuals to go back to check on what you’re doing. Sometimes you have to pay the price to get started. I now watch Goat Rope and others videos to get more info. The only thing I find frustrating is the lack of information when tuning VE on a vehicle that had VVE.
Great job articulating your experiences with them. I was doing research and this is in-line with everything that I've read thus far. Thanks for posting!
This isn't a silver bullet. Tuning is complex. For $499 it puts alot of information in front of you with out going video to video link to link. Worth the money. You will use this book and other sources to get comfortable tuning. Every situation is different so no way the book will have everything. The support stuff I can understand them not being so helpful. Imagine all the questions and time it involves. Plus all those that buy the material and think they don't have to research. A tune is $400 so in reality they ain't making much if they spend alot of time troubleshooting cars. The issue you describe with your vehicle I would think right off the bat that you have a mechanical problem since you have been driving around fine and start to have issues. I have been doing this for awhile and looked at their material after I was already tuning for a living. Not to bad of a book wish I bought it when I was learning how to tune. I remote tune and you have no idea the stuff I end up troubleshooting mechanical. The school should just pull the selling point of a year support
I have no experience at all.. would you say the books are worth the money.. I have a chance to pick up the gm beginner book along the VA. MAF book.. For 300.00 Will they help a complete amateur like me..? Thank you
I take it with a grain of salt. If you value your self say at 50,40 an hour and you spend 20 to 30 hours researching and watching videos on what your looking for then you already pass the cost of manual yea it’s a lot of cash that could be better spent some else Me I value my time very much so and don’t have enough to go around it like buying tools he who the fullest box is better prepared for what he needs today.

Goat rope gauge has some good tuning videos for FREE really good stuff I'm a 100 BEGINNER and it helped me greatly

The most difficult part for beginner is how to find the info and from where start tuning (areas of improvements)
