Default Best Tuning Course for HPTuners

I am posting this in this section instead of the Tuning section because I want to hear from other Turbo guys.

I am curious which course would be the best one for me to attend this fall that would spend the most time on HpTuners and forced induction?

I have done all my own tuning but still would not feel comfortable tuning someone elses car. I was thinking of getting greg Banish's first DVD it looks like it focuses on Hptuners and then attending his course or the Tuning School. Are there any other courses? Which would you recommend in my situation, ie,... HPTuners, GM, and Turbo specific. Thanks

I doubt that DVD will make you more comfortable tuning someone elses car. You're better off dialing your own tune in and gain experience that way. No DVD is going to make you a tuner overnight. Theres a ton of free info on here and HP tuners forum as long as its from a reliable source.

I have all those books, plus the full set from The Tuning School.
Nothing however beats a good mentor.

Anybody have any experience with EFI101? I like their class with the hands on thing but its kinda pricey when you would have to fly to the class and get a hotel. In turn, it makes The Tuning School look more attractive but I'm afraid to miss out on the hands on stuff.
