I took the tuning school class. its a great class. really worth the money. also they have stage 2 files in the repository. you dont have to download them just open them as compare files.

Learned everything I know (which isn't much) with some buddies like DJT and Witt having some beers.

I prefer breaking and building and just let Al tune it.

I learned by spending hours late at night doing runs on the highway, and doing small adjustments, and doing another run. I did all this with a DESKTOP COMPUTER hooked up to a power inverter connected to the battery Ghetto Mod FTW!!!

you can only learn so much by reading. someone can help, but if you are not able the grasp a simple concept. you will never get it.

and did the complete opposite.

Because having to delete "vcm_suite.cfg" anytime you switch PCM models is totally a bug that should be ignored for at least a year.

it should be a bug that needs to crawl up someones ass.

kpro has issues when you start dicking with rev limiters on a civic coupe with a k20 swap
