I bought the book and looked it over. Nothing that a Haynes manual cant explain as far as what the sensors are and how they work.

One chapter about maps but not how to tune. And a few chapters about the various stand-alones and their idividual functins.

I would recommend it for a bathroom book.

Has anyone actually taken the class? I would like feedback if they felt it was helpful and learned a lot vs a total waste of time.......

I took a fuel injection class for Aircraft, it was helpful for getting the basics. What I did learn that every system is alittle different. I would recommend it.

Ive attended both classes that Ben Strader holds and I loved both of them.

I know professional tuners that have learned from that class and I know people that went in knowing nothing that still learned quite a bit.

I think the class is best for the novice/medium tuner that has been presented with lots of false information from other people/ internet. This class will clear up any question you have.

I think it changes the way most people think about "tuning"

Plus you will be learning from the best of the best, you can't really go wrong with this class unless 1. You don't pay attention or 2. You don't get involved in the classroom
