Talking Request from those of us who want to tune ourselves

Thought I'd run this idea up the proverbial flag pole.

Along with doing dyno days, how about doing something like a half-day or full-day class on "How-to-tune your XEDE". I'd be more than happy to pay for something like that. Actually, now that I think of it, you could do:

1.) Intro to the XEDE - i.e. go through the software and what it does/means
2.) How-to-tune your XEDE - advanced class for those who want to get more involved with their XEDE.

Charge something like $99 for the intro class and maybe $199 for the advanced class (obviously longer session).

If you offered something like this, you could do something like dyno on one day and then class the next day.

That would be a great idea! I would definitely be willing to pay for a class on XEDE tuning. I have been experimenting with different settings on my XEDE since the day I received mine, especially since I have water injection. It would be great to be able to get some tips from the master himself.

we asked shiv about this when he was in dallas...he didn't seem too interested. me and a friend were wanting to fly or drive out to Vishnu for training. maybe it can be done online with screenshots?

That would be a shame. I'm sure he'd get even more people showing up for both the dyno portion and the training - especially now that the XEDE is starting to support a lot of new features.

Maybe he doesnt want to do that because then he will get less people coming to him for a tune? MAYBE?

Thats possible, but if he did lose some biz on the dyno he would gain in the training sessions. I think this is a great idea and I would fly out to Vishnu HQ just for this or drive

Shiv was recently talking about some auto-tune feature that was going to be implemented on the Xede, one button tune .... anyways, if there was just an online guide that stated what the different menus in the Xmap were, that would be enough as people could change parameter themselves ....

Class, I'm there. Funny, I thought Shiv mentioned the possibility of a class to me at the FAME tuning day....

jman425, weren't you getting Xede lessons that day?
