If I understand your question correctly, you want to know if users of other tuning packages would benifit from Dan's book. That answer is yes, but if you're using HP Tuners, there is already a version of the book covering that. Dan went in to great detail explaining how the computer controls the engine, so you have a better understanding of what you're doing, these pricipals are the same no mater what you're using to tune the vehicle with.

I agree with poconojoe. When we teach people how to diagnose drivability problems and tune for performance, the most important thing we can stress to people learning is the importance of PROCESS. My very first tuning book showed how to tune using different tuning software packages and the current GM EFI book shows how to tune GM engines using HP Tuners, but yes, absolutely, if you learn how to tune, you are learning the process of tuning and can then repeat that process and apply it to virtually any internal combustion engine. The differences from manufacturer to manufacturer are in control strategy (GM uses MAF and MAP, Ford uses MAF only and Chrysler uses MAP only) and in nomenclature. Some minor fact finding is required to determine how the strategies differ from one make to another (and they don't differ much, but we have more books and webinars coming soon), so the tuning process is easily employed no matter what you're tuning and no matter what tuning software package you use. Here in our shop we have the following tuning software: HP Tuners, EFI Live, TwEECer, DiabloSport, AEM, FAST, Accel, Holley, Motec, Edelbrock, Power Commander (for bikes) MEFI IV and MSD Graph for older distributor vehicles with MSD ignition amps. Sounds like a lot? Well, it's really not. If you can master just one of the above, like HP Tuners or EFI Live or Tweecer, or Diablo, SCT, whatever, you've already learned 85% of what you need to know to learn any other tuning software you may wish to use. Names may change, strategy may differ slightly and their may be a few tricks or tips required to get the most from a particular EFI system, but overall the PROCESS IS THE SAME! It's not unlike driving; If you learn how to drive, you can drive different vehicles, but you drive them in a similar manner (***** TO THE WALL!!)
Cheers, PEEPS!!

As far as I see yes, you have to register to order the book. Best 40.00 I've ever spent. Just got mine last week.

It appears not. I just ordered mine, and just clicked on the PayPal logo to skip registration, and complete the checkout process

I bought the book and enjoyed reading it. I wish I had known an EFIlive specific edition was coming before I ordered.

Well, gents, it's finally coming together. The last of the changes to the "final" version of the book have been made. Our test group had some issues they wanted addressed, mostly simple stuff such as where certain maps/tables were found (I included screen shots and directions to address this) as well as clarification on some steps of the tuning process, mostly regarding VE tuning. So it seems we've ironed these out to the satisfaction of the test group. As with anything in life, you can only simplify so much, but I think the package we have now is about as good as anyone can ask from 200+ pages and $40. It's as thorough and simple as I could make it without physically standing over your shoulder watching you tune. The printer will receive this final corrected copy on Thursday after we're finished fully proofing the latest version and we should have the printed books back within 20 days. I'll post up the progress from the printer soon.
Thanks again for your patience!
Cheers!
p.s. Now that the book changes have been addressed, webinars for the Beta testers will begin again in September after I've returned from a short vacation. My mind is about to blow and unless I get some sleep and drink in me soon, well, I can't be held responsible for the resulting carnage.

which book would would be recommended to total efi tuning novice.
novice as in pre-k/0 LVL/ bottom of the ladder, etc.
i want to learn GM LS EFI based knowledge. not interested in ford or any other versions at the moment. so that should narrow it down the applications.
