What up people,

I am signed up for EFI101 this weekend (Tomorrow) and I cant wait. I was worried about if it was worth the money and what not. But I'd rather go and see what its about rather than sitting around wondering what if...

Anyways I'll report back and let you guys know what I thought.

 

So....

EFI101 was pretty cool!

Yes, most of the information can be found in books and stuff but the class tells you exactly which formulas are relevant. I have seen most of the equation presented in EFI101 by reading books but books tend to give you a lot more equations than you really need, and sometime its hard to decipher which ones are important. The class really broke down how to calculate Injector Sizing, Pulse Width and Duty Cycle. The teacher also did a good job of describing VE and bsfc.

I do think the class may have been a little over priced. I am happy that I went though because even though the information was overpriced I was able see a really cool engine dyno room! This room was like a state of the temperature controlled engine test lab. Pro Car associates also had some pretty cool cars hanging around the shop. The shop owner (Chris) also showed us his (6 second) racecar.

All in all it was a good experience. And I really got a chance to see how successful you can become if you take this tuning thing seriously. bump.

 

Glad to hear your results. I think it is too pricy for what it is. But then again, it would be very good for someone who doesn't learn well from online stuff. I don't mind reading books and stuff online, so I'll keep doing that.

 

Thanks for sharing but you should have said ALL the information can be found in books and / or online. Tuning is not magic - just takes the ability to process a lot of information on the fly or the determination to sit down and process all the information. Given, you can learn quicker if somebody tells you all the secrets (which they don't do in the EFI class) but that information can be obtained on your own if you take the time to be thorough while tuning.

The only side of things that are "different" per say is the dyno tuning area. You can be the best street tuner and still be lost on the dyno (and vica versa) if you don't have the experience or knowledge. This is where the advanced class comes into play. So in my opinion, unless you are going to go beyond the first class - you are just lining their pockets (even then the price is outrageous - but I think they do it for "crowd control" - only the serious will pay).
