Default The Tuning School, learn at home

Has anyone used the learn at home tuning school documents? After using their product, were you successfully able to tune your own vehicle?

Yes and yes. I used it and had my car dialed in to where there were no drivability issues and felt strong with a good idle. I could drive through a parkinglot with the AC on full blast with no surge. My cam wasn't huge (TSP torquerV3) but it wasn't really hard to tune. The material is just like I like it. Small words and lots of pictures.

The learn at home will get you rolling but the actual class is well worth the money if you can do it. I had a blast.

i have been contemplating one of there courses....the STS turbo tuning course. I like the fact that they have a course specific to this. My question is....is there injector data in these courses? I mean.....all the tuning info in the world is no good if you dont have the right info. Or is Banish the end all be all for info on my deka 60's?
