I agree with you Jeff. $850 is far out of my league. In the end price will dictate turnout.

Time and place, and i'll see how I can swing it, so count me in. Its better than traveling to the states as I was plannin. As for the cost, if you can afford to play, you can afford to pay.

Tell Bob to knock the price in half! $850/person is insane. We can rent a portable dyno, and everyone can come to my place. We'll do crapshoot tuning. I will only charge $300/person. AND I have a beer fridge! haha

I don't think so. I think they'll get a good turnout. You'll be acquiring a skill that you then can use to recoup your investment. Sure there is no substitute for experience when it comes to honing your skills. But a course like this would be invaluable to get you pointed in the right direction. Sign me up.

Hi guys!

We've not forgotten about you all, we are checking dates and times and will post back soon. We appreciate all your interest too. Shortly I'll be posting a video highlighting our last class, which was just held in Dallas, TX. The class actually saved 2 cars (a magnacharged CTS-V and procharged GTO) from exploding - which was just a stroke of luck for those owners. They had no idea how far off they were!

Thanks,
Bob

I'd be willing to come out if a HP tuners package could be included in that class... I'm not looking to become a car tuner for people, just learn how to keep my car within emissions and optimized for power on street/strip without blowing it up.

Have you thought about what shop this would be at?

Would there be any instruction on SD tuning? My cars has to be tuned with a single bar SD tune so that is of the most interest to me.

I look forward to hearing the details.

If it aligns with my needs I will be all over it.

Hey guys, we were thinking of somewhere in Ontario - do you all know of a good shop and area we can use?

Thanks,
Bob

Bob, you should talk to Dave at Canadian Performance (Pickering, Ontario) to see if he'd be interested in hosting it. They are also a sponsor here and they have a dyno.

Very nice people, I'm sure we can set something up. We're going to be talking with Dave when he gets feeling better, as he is out sick.

You can take me off the list if this is the location of the class.

Thanks anyway, maybe next time at a different location.

Looks like a great program, good luck with it guys.

Although a large majority of the people interested in the class are from the GTA, I'll throw this out there. How about a class in Windsor? There is a local dyno and I'm sure Joel who runs the shop would rent it out for the day.

Too bad you feel that way, Dale. Do you have any other venue in mind?

Awesome, Bob. Set up a date and a location and if you get enough interest then proceed - plain and simple. Given the competitive nature of this sport, you are always going to get people not happy with this or that. Like I say, demand will dictate where and when this excellent opportunity will be held. I look forward to hearing more about it.
