Unfortunately it has taken longer than expected to fulfill orders. The beta testers that haven't been contacted yet will be contacted this week.

Thanks to everyone who bought the book. It has been an amazing success and has us struggling to keep up with demand. We'll be following up shortly with the introduction of an amazing new website that'll have tech-junkies salivating for months!

I'm about 1/2 way though the book so far. Great piece, extremely informative and does an excellent job of breaking things down enough to make it understandable, especially the relationships between difference aspects of the tuning (a influences b and c, but only if d is set, etc.). Definitely a happy customer here.

I'm up to the case studies and I have really enjoyed reading it. I would like a little more info on how the sensors work (ie. freq conversion on GM MAF) and adding sendors. I for example just bought a 1 to 5 volt fuel pressure sensor from Innovate for my LS1 fuel rail. It takes Batt volt 13.8 +- and outputs 1-5 volts for 0-100 psi. I will use it for IFR calculations. I was considering a direct cylinder head temp. sender. I was kicking around logging IAT, ECT, Cyl Head Temp. to see if trends or lags could be used to tune for. I'm very new to tuning so I figured I would table that til I knew what I'd do with the info.
The book is very easy to read and explains what it covers very well.

E-mail Dan your suggestions, he's very receptive to feedback on his book. I know there is some new things he wants to add before expanding the coverage, of the items he already covered. If you really thought a lot of the book, you should leave him feedback on the forum

Default Book

Which forum this one in the tuning section?
PS the book is even better (now that I have gone through the case studies)because of the way he explains why he does what he does.)

If you go up to post 83 you can click on his trader feedback. I also feel he did a great job of explaining it

Relax, gents...The beta testers are getting their copies. We're shipping everyday. Just because you didn't get an email doesn't mean you've been forgotten. Tracking numbers are being emailed when the shipments go out. Shipments are being sent to the same address that the beta book was sent to. If this poses a problem due to an address change, please let us know asap.
Cheers!

It is so worth it! I've read a few "tuning" books that left me more confused then when i started because i know what most of the sensors do and that seemed like all they would talk about. I think the best part of this book is the case studies where someone explains alot of tuning and simplifies tuning more. I let my buddy read the beta version of the book and he said any idiot could tune after reading it. He acted like it was too good maybe he was jealous he was a subaru guy
I havent even read most of the book had my tonsils removed so ive been in a little pain From what i've skimmed over it looks way better then the beta was.

The finished book is very good. It's primary focus is GM, and it contains case studies that are literally walk-throughs done step at a time.
