Default Want to learn how to tune? Tuning Seminar.

Here is your chance to learn how to tune from the best!

EFI Tunning Seminar by Ben Strader.
June 21-22 @ Jotech Motorsports in Garland Texas.

In order we need to get 10 paid confirmation to get this rolling. Prics is $300 and will include:
1)Basics of electronics
2)Tools and Equipment
3)EFI Overview
4)Base Tuning the EFI System/Calibrating the Base Fuel Map
5)Calibrating Maps on the Dyno
6)Understanding Injectors
7)Tips on making and installing your wire harness

Seminar package to include goodie bag, seminar work book and info pamphlet and some hands on dyno tuning on Sunday. We will provide lunch and refreshments on both days (served by Earl Laskey).

Possibly having Bob Norwood as a guest speaker. Those who I know that will be there are Kenny Tran, Tony Palo, Eal Laskey, Me Art Ortiz, and maybe many more!

Info on Ben: "Ben is currently in the process of writing a how-to book called “How to build and Tune Custom EFI Systems” which will be published by Cartech S/A Design Publishing. The book will cover various topics on understanding and tuning fuel injection, along with an overview of nearly a dozen brands available on the market!”

Hotel info coming soon for those flying in. Stay tuned for more detail and feel free to email me at arturbo98@hotmail.com.

From what I hear, airplane companys are going to start selling flights super cheap. It wouldnt surprise me to get a round trip ticket for 100 bucks...or a road trip would be fun as well.

I'll probably be coming, but pretty sure it's gonna be by plane.

I also made a trip from MN to St. Louis, MO and back....that was 25 hours stright, then when we got home, we had to unload 2 h22 swaps out of the trailer. Talk about tiring.


Art, I'm not sure, but if I can't get a rental car, you think I can roll with you for the weekend?

Sign me up, but let me know when payment is due...I won't be able to get it for another month maybe...I'm on a very, very tight budget from here on.

I will definately have to consider coming down for this. I'd like to be more skilled as far as tuning goes, plus it'd be a blast to hang out w/ the TX crew.

I just don't know that my GSR would be down for the road trip. 160 miles to the tank only translates to about 250 on the highway.

Hey guys.............
Looks like this is shaping up to be a pretty good class.

We are are working hard to make this a top-notch professional event, and if it goes off well, we'll do more!

We need your help though, in registering early if you want to attend.

Space is limited and although we expect about 20-25 people, we do need at least 10 confirmed, paid registrations to ensure the class size will be enough to meet our financial obligations of producing the event.

After we have 15 paid confirmed registrations, we will take 10$ from each registration and put it into a raffle, to be given away to one lucky entrant at the end of the class.

We will also be holding raffles for some great engine parts too, like a set of B-series valve springs, a free Competition Valve job from the state of the art facility at STRADER PERFORMANCE!
More prizes will be added as they become available!

We are working on getting some press releases in a few popular magazines, so the publicity of this exciting new event should put the seminar in high demand...........so sign up early, and who knows....maybe you'll see yourself in an import mag!

See you in Texas!

Thanks again to Tony and Kenny at JoTech Motorsports for hosting this event at their facility!

-Ben
