Which tuning package will you be using?

The first edtions covered everything, the newer ones have less in then, such as the GM version doesn't any of the ford stuff in it, so reducing the page count reduces the cost

im still up in the air. since im not familiar with either EFILIVE/HPTUNERS.
i dont know the features or flaws of each program. im interested in the program that is better suited for calibrating hi hp street driven forced induction applications. using a gm based pcm and if possible the dual tune application. up to 20psig forced induction or beyond if possible.

NemeSS, you might read both of Greg Banish's books, these will cover the ins/outs of tuning regardless of package.

Both packages can do that, and you won't need a dual tune, there's no need to.

When we began selling the original version, it was $69.99 plus shipping (don't blame me for shipping costs...this was FedEx and insured delivery). This original version was printed and spiral bound due to the high number of requests we received from initial product testers who demanded that the book be able to fold over for easy use in the car. Beta testers seemed to give this feature (spiral binding) high marks as well with the exception of a few who absolutley hated spiral binding. After receiving plenty of emails from past and potential customers with complaints about the high cost of the book (yet hearing that they loved the content and the case studies which couldn't be found in any other book), we determined that we should make a cheaper version to help get this information to more people. So, we made a GM-specific book (no Ford info at all) and used the perfect-binding method which costs about 1/5 of the price of spiral binding. You end up with a book with lower page count (as we deleted the Ford section and Ford-related content) and cheaper binding, so $39.99. The Ford book is next after the release of the EFI Live version and it too, will have approximately 200 pages, be perfect bound and priced similarly to our current GM book. Lastly, to keep this in perspective and eliminate any feelings of entitlement out there from any of my earliest book customers, I'd like to point out that A GREAT NUMBER of the initial product testers and beta testers called me with specific questions about tuning their own cars (and multiple calls at that!). I took ALL of these calls with a smile on my face knowing I was helping people who bought the original version even though you bought a book, not tech support. This is something that many of you forget when you fill my email box asking questions about webinars or wonder why the new books are cheaper. The vast majority of you got special care and help in return for being an early customer and that's gotta be worth something.
Cheers!

Looking foward to the new release. Not concerned about the expense. The knowledge is worth 10x the cost.

How's the book coming? We're just past the last predicted availability date.
I'm ready to put it to good use on my G8 cam swap.

I bought the newer cheaper book a few months back. I did learn some from reading it, I did a MAF table tune & adjusted my IFR table for the 42s. I dont recall it covering much on VE tuning though & I could really use one of those.

Sorry, but no updates yet. I'm sure the printer is doing everything they can, but I'd guess that this is the printer's busiest time of year as most publishers are racing to get products printed in time for the holiday season. With the delays, the Ford book is put farther back. So goes the way of life...
Trust me, as soon as I get word, I'll be front and center to take your money! I'm not holding back just to put you guys through more pain and suspense. Regarding any questions on pre-orders, this is an old thread that was brought back from last year when pre-orders were being taken for my previous book that features HP Tuners software. There is no pre-order for the EFI Live version yet and there won't be until we get word from the printer that the books are done and have shipped to us. I'm sure it won't be much longer.

Doh! Thanks for the update



Are we there yet?




how about now?

MawneeC5

iTrader: (12)

I predict the new book will be released tomorrow! Why? Because I got impatient and just ordered the old version for now

Hulkss

No doubt about it. Just like washing your car makes it rain.

This book is fantastic. Its got all the technical info you'd expect. But with straight foward explainations of what you are trying to accomplish and the best way to do it.

I'll definetly be buying the EFILive version when its relseased!
