Default Anybody ever have problems tuning their own EFI

What issues do you run into when you tune your EFI system? Who has
successfully tuned your own EFI and what advice do you have?

My advice would be read as much as you can and don't be afraid to ask questions. I use HPTuners to tune my vehicle. As long as you have a good understanding on how cars work and are semi-technical you should be fine.
When you start tuning, start small and don't make any change that you don't understand. Get a good wideband as well.

I hear Innovate is an excellent wideband.

But really,
What are you looking for in an EFI Tuning Course regarding trouble shooting and real world experiences?

I second the good wideband, I use the AEM on my 86 grand national which is running on a Mega Squirt 3 in full sequential mode.

I too have an AEM wideband. However I feel it to be a little sluggish.
Especially when tuning trouble spots.
