How soon would this be?

My tune has to be a single bar SD. Would that possibly be covered?

If so I am in.

I'm seeing if they can come sometime this spring. We will need a host dyno shop as well. Im not 100% sure if 1 bar speed density is covered but it should be. Ill double check for you.
The class consists of two full days of training that teaches us how to use HpTuners and how to tune the proper way. Breakfast and lunch is provided by them.

Features of the class include:

- The basics of how to use the HP Tuners software.
- What tables need to be changed for your tuning needs.
- What the tables mean, how to understand and adjust them properly.
- What the common ranges are for the tables that are being adjusted.
- How the basic fuel injection system works.
- The right order of tuning, featuring when to adjust Fuel, Spark, etc...
- How to do your tuning on the Dyno. Instruction will occur at a dyno facility at the end of the second day.

The Live Class also includes:

- The Tuning the Right Way: A Beginner's Guide to Tuning GM Vehicles with HP Tuners Software workbook (sample pages: page 9 / page 37-38 / page 187)
- The Tuning Checklists
- The Tuning School Tuning Tree (a map of table locations)
- Breakfast and lunch are provided both days
- Instructors available for further discussion at dinner in a local restaurant
- Discount hotel stay at the seminar location
- The Tuning School T-Shirt (coming soon)
- The Tuning School vinyl decal (coming soon)

This is definitly something i'm interested in, i'd need to plan for it, so a date, (hopefully a weekend), cost, would be nice.

Is this beneficial to someone with some experience, or someone like myself that has no clue going into this.

This course is more directed towards beginners with little to no tuning experience.

Class location will also have an impact on my ability to attend as well!
Bob is looking into where it will be held, do any of you guys have any suggestions?

Depends on cost, location and date. That's a big 'Hell, Maybe!'.

I would need to know the cost before committing. Normally this type of training too expensive for me. Would be nice if it was around $200 but on his website it's normally $850. I would think that the material covered in this course would be a great start to learning how to tune. But as I have found out after reading a good book and all the guides on the Internet, what makes tuner really good is experience.
