hmmm, the only thing I would be weary of is the hennessy name because I've heard so many horror stories about their company.

Explain, I would assume that thier doing somthing right if Dodge would let them do special editon vehicles for them.
Foff667 when you see a company or someone opening a school or offering a lab type experiance dealing with tunning, do you guys ( I know you cant speak for EDIT and LIVE) call and talk to them to see if they will be teaching from your program or if you could offer market some kind of deal that would get people to use your program?
Just wondering, trying to get a general idea about the buissnes!
Thanks

Although Hennessy makes some great cars, their business practices leave something to be desired. They have been taken to court several times for failing to provide cars once payment is received. I wouldn't send them my money.

seriously? some of the more famous "car threads" on the internet are Hennessey stories. And not just a few.


I met him once, he seemed like a nice guy. Supposedly they're turned things around now. I know that he uses AEM exclusively on his Viper engines, and he farms out the tuning work.

There are a couple of very good classes that use our software including Greg Banish's class http://www.hptuners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15915 as well as Precision motorsports down in Fl. Both of which are very capable classes of which I had the opportunity to join in on Gregs class in early December. Even experienced tuners can learn from these types of classes.
