Greg Banish Beginners Video Review

[Ray@NP]

to be truthful did you think after having this DVD you would know how to tune? First thing about tuning is you need to know the basic principles of motors and what they like and what they dont like. Then no dvd or etc is going to show you how to do something. you need to just play with the software and do percentages of a ratio and see what does what to your vehicle. This is only way youll learn what truely every part of the software does that applies to the vehicle. Read the help memos on the HP software itself as you click on each section.

i seen the video few yrs ago and thought it was a joke and a waste as well. The injector data was about only useful part of it and any computer hack could of gained access to that easily thru the nets

vey true

I have seen them too. I am glad I wasn't the only unimpressed one.... Although I didn't pay $250 for mine either. They hold decent 2nd hand value and selling them is usually easy on ls1tech or hp tuners forum.

Quik I agree with you 100%, I was just hoping that by seeing a video it would be easier than reading books. I have bought every book Summit Racing carries by HPbooks, and honestly I had to read each one 3 times to comprehend it. Reading for me is easy, BUT understanding what I have read is another. I understand the terminology such as Lambda, volumetric efficiency and so on, but I just wanted to save people the money I wasted ha ha!!

I can't sell the DVD though, I will keep It as a reminder of this swap. I visit the HPtuners forum daily as I did join, but what I noticed is most of those guys who actually post usefull info are shops or professionals which is cool BUT I have no idea what they're talking about. I was thinking about using a tune loaded into the tune repository on HPT forum, and then just working off of that?? Is that a good idea or no??

Thanks everybody for the responses, makes me happy knowing I'm not the only one who wasn't impressed.

HPforums arent much help either unless you can sort thru alot of the info and put together your own summary of your question. Best way is trial and error, grab a stock car or truck and go at it. save the orignal file and always go back to it if the vehicle is funny acting.

as for the repository, take your chance with that and be careful as not many ppl who upload are uploading something worth while
