Have you ever heard of Shawn Church? He has only tuned more cars than most people on the planet. It's not a scam. If you want to learn how to tune, there are very few people more qualified to teach.

Looks pretty good actually. $1000 sounds about right for a course like that.

I recently went to a $1500 three day vehicle dynamics seminar. It was worth every penny. I would do it again in a second.

I know who is teaching it and understand that he is very reputable. I just havent heard from or seen any posts on any forums about the course. I was just asking to see if anyone had taken the course and had any input about their experience. I emailed the support section with some questions and still have not yet recieved a response, so I was just hesitant on paypaling them $1000.

I see what you're asking. It makes sense to get something before you sink money into it. You may even want to contact Church himself and ask a few questions.

Where did you hear about the course?

Honestly i just found it googling efi tuning. Its the first type of course i have seen thay can be taken from home. I like the idea that you have lifetime access and you can go and review things as needed.

Have you heard anything back from them yet? I would be a bit hesitant in sending anyone $1000 for an online course if they can't answer an email.

Not atypical for a seminar like that. About the same cost as one 3 credit college course, really.

If somebody shoved a crap load of information in you head within 3 days at 8-12 hours non stop do you think you can maintain that information? I think its better off to find somebody who knows it well already and teach it to you gradually over time for free.

The course allows you to go back and reference the material when needed to refresh.

No. I tried it with OptimumG. But I took really meticulous notes (about 120 pages of my own, the seminar came with a 500 page binder) and made contact with a few people from the class. I'm constantly revisiting the material and discussing it with others from the seminar, and it's pretty amazing how much you really did learn once you look back over it. You just have to put a little work into maintaining the information.

Icon7 It's Official We're a vender on Honda-Tech!

Hello Honda-Tech members,

We wanted to take a moment and introduce ourselves as the newest Honda-Tech sponsors. FASTuuN EFI Simplified is
run by two car enthusiasts Jack Fredericks and Joe Simmons, and taught by well known tuning expert Shawn Church.

"We at FASTuuN strive to provide auto enthusiasts with a proven system to quickly and easily learn to tune
electronic fuel injection. So, that you have the knowledge and are well prepared to tune your vehicle."


This journey started early last year when we (Jack and Joe) were helping small businesses develop and online presence
and get customers in the doors. We found out soon in that business venture that we really didn't have a passion for
that kind of work and we were just going through the motions.

Around that time I had just purchased a new-to-me car. It had a stand alone engine management system.
Jack had the great idea of transitioning our business to the automotive industry. This was a great move since we were
always on the phone talking cars because this is our passion.

Now Jack and I have tons of combined knowledge. Tuning wasn't one of them. So, we knew from the get-go we needed
a tuning professor. We set off looking for a tuner with the skill to teach the curriculum we had created.

That was easy! Within the first day we had a contract signed and tuners eager to jump in with us. Unfortunately, it took
going threw a few tuners before finding Shawn. We needed the right balance of skill, knowledge and the ability to teach
you, the car enthusiast.

At the time we weren't looking for a tuner in California. Once we did shift to Cali, we went strait for Shawn Church.
We had tuned cars with Shawn before and after a meeting with Shawn we knew he was the one.
And Shawn was eager to begin.


We ARE car enthusiasts to the max! We saw a need that was crippling tuning for enthusiasts.

With our knowledge and multi-media experience, we are able to bring the classroom to you…

I (Joe) have been involved with auto racing since 1994. I've built everything from a Buick Grand National to my latest project
a retro RX7 FC3s (my 5th RX7) that is taking on a new form, as we speak, in both looks and performance.

Jack has been involved in the automotive world since 1986 modifying classics and imports alike. He has had everything from
a 67 Chevelle to his latest creation an 04 EVO RS. His passion for cars has driven him to learn as much about his vehicles
as possible.

Along with our resident tuner and Professor, Shawn Church, we at FASTuuN have cornered the tuning market under the radar.

The Church family of automotive companies has become one of the largest and most prolific dyno tuning enterprises
in the world, tuning nearly 2500 cars per year at his shops.

Shawn received his Masters Degree and also was a Professor at Pepperdine University. So he knows how to teach.

"Shawn’s customers also enjoyed tremendous success"

In the early years, Shawn Church focused primarily on Honda vehicles, but the business quickly grew to encompass virtually
any vehicle, from vintage BMWs to modern supercharged Cadillacs and everything in between like Hondas. Shawn’s customers
also enjoyed tremendous success, winning races, championships and setting records everywhere. Some of the venues include
IDRC, Battle of the Imports and NHRA drag racing; multiple Bonneville speed records; SCCA ProSolo and Solo2 national
championships; multiple NASA and SCCA regional race wins, National Championships in NASA and SCCA road racing and
time trials, endurance race wins and even a national championship in SCCA World Challenge.

Shawn Church has also worked closely with and provided services to a wide variety of major companies. These include
Hondata, Advanced Engine Management, Garrett, World Racing, RS-R, Greddy, Motordyne, EvoSport, Mitsubishi, Subaru,
Electronic Arts, Rockstar Games and more.

So, if you want to see more, go carouse our website and let us know what you think.

Shawn Church

...Stay Tuned.
