Default Pix from Tuning Seminar

Ben teaching the class



Can you name all the famous H-T'ers?

I see Arturbo, SuperDave, Tony1, Bamboo Luv, DeepSi, FlamencoT, Kenny Tran to name a few


We had a husband and wife future tuning team in attendance. Looks like Andrea was paying more attention than Steve. Check the intensity on Kenny Tran's face. He applys that attitude toward everything and that is what makes him a winner.



Putting the lessons into practice on the dyno. It was all theory until put into practice.

I had a great time at the seminar! I walked away with knowledge that I can know try to mess with efi systems and have a clue about what is going on. I would recomend this to anyone who has no earthly clue about efi and wants to gain usefull knowledge about tuning. I want to thank Ben, Art ,and Earl for putting this on, also Kenny and tony for letting us have it at the shop.-pdang

Damn i had a blast

Sooo much info to swallow, i gotta look back at my notes and hopefully i remember most of them.

I'd like to thank Ben, Art, Tony, Kenny, Earl and the rest of the people who put it together and i was glad to meet the peeps on the seminar. Someone should put their SN on top of their faces on the pics above, so i can put 2 and 2 together. Also, i can forget about Bob Norwood for sharing his great tips and infos and for telling us some funny stories... OG Norwood and Earl

Oh ya, im not in any of those pics, but u can see my gay *** skinny legs crossed over on the first pic, bottom left corner and u can see my left arm on the second pic sitting next to tony1

I'm the guy in the blue shirt to Andrea's left. The while guy in front of me is Scott (Turbo D17). He's got a real clean 7th gen that's turbo'd. Great seminar. I believe Stephen and Andrea (275performance and HotRoddelSol respectively) will be posting pics today as well.

DAMN IT Earl. I was blinking. HAHAHAHAHHA.

Great pics. I had a blast. Already started putting what I learned to use today.

I have around 80+ pics. I am working on uploading them. I'll post the link here once the are all up.

In that wacked out pic of me, I know infront of me is Art (arturbo), guy in the grey to my left is Stan (Flamenco-T), Behind me Bryce or Larry from Alamo, sorry can't remember. And that guy to Andrea's right is just someone off the street with a slow civic they let in.

Yes sir that was my car. the track car that was suppose to dyno wasnt connecting to the ecu and they asked me to throw my car on the dyno.

Ben didnt shoot for max power, he was just showing us how to calibrate certain things and only made 3 runs on low boost, got me 10 lbs. of torque, more power on midrange and smoother curve just by adjusting it once

It made 250 hp and 201 torque on low boost, and Ben didnt want to crank up the boost because my car was overheating and didnt want to take any chances because i did have to drive it home 4 hours away. Ben knows his stuff though

Only thing that was making it hard to stay awake was the heat.

It was very cool to here Bob's insight on things.

TurboDandee's car was real clean. The ITR conversion looked good. Sucked about the heating issue.

Mr. Norwood was a very cool dude

Ya, i do need to take care of my heating issue... my tooth pick radiator, small fan and Texas humidity dont mix well. It was hell driving 4 hours straight, my temp. would climb half way on the gauge and had to slow down and shut my a/c off to bring the temp. back down.

Just wanted to thank everyone for coming and ben and the gang for puting this together. It was definitely a good seminar and i'm sure everyone learned alot! I would recommend this to anyone looking to learn to tune. There aren't many places to really learn the right way and something like this is an opportunity that most people will never get. Don't pass it up! Now you guys don't go blowing up cars now!!

Let's leave you all with a few quotes of the weekend.

Name the Honda-Tech person:

1) "I have a small dick, it's in my heritage"

2) "I just want me a white girl, dawg"

3) "Whats up with the fuggin' dp"

That's all for now I'll post more zany quotes when you guys get these

hahahaha
