Since ive been 16 ive been doing some street tuning myself!

But ive wanted to learn to be better and to become certified and learn the tricks!

Is there schools that offer tuning as a class?

Not like some stuiped entry level tuning but. like dyno tuning for aem ems, aem fic, greddy emanage, hondata chrome neptune dsmlink cobb.. the good ones!

no offense to those who goto those schools! but everyone ive ever met that went to those schools was a complete tool! and hardly was educated to anything!

so maybe i just met a bad bunch! If so please inform me other wise!

Nightbeat

The schools are great just most of the people that go to them go because they think its just cool to do and don't really care. You get out what you want. it goes down to the good old theory crap in crap out LOL can teach a halfasser to do things the right way

i was talking to paul about this and they offer an entry level class that he went to for like 800 bucks then the advanced class for 1200 bucks......alot of money mike.....and not everyone who gets paid to tune is certified....alot of people just have alot of experience.

Worth 2k IMO

There so much control with a standalone that most shops over look! I could spend 100000 of hours tunning my car to be perfect and that would make me happy!

So 2k and i will be on the road to learn how to be one of the best!

I really have a passion for tuning! And ive done it for many friends since i was 16 time to take it to the next level!

UTI isn't bad it is what you make of it. Most of the people who go there are there too just waste time. Elevation check out hennessey performance it pretty sick.

Actually wyotech is a great school,

the people you have met probably never finished or didnt get certified...

If the people who graduated were tools then the student graduation percent would be over 50%.

which it isnt.

because most people who go there have nothing else left for them.......

Mrsanchez925

that's a very ignorant thing to say.

Just because someone goes to a trade school, that doesn't mean that they have nothing else left for them.

what if that's just their passion?

I attended to a junior college for 2 years, Finished my General Ed, and have the option to transfer to a state college.

but i decided i wanted to go to Wyotech, and possibly finish my last 2 years of college after that..

and also PLUS you hafta be somewhat dedicated to go there if you are willing to pay off 34K in student loans for the rest of your life. haha

Wyo is just like UTI they both are not in-depth enough when it comes to tuning. I wished the super street class was longer only three weeks that's a joke. The instructor for that course said most of the people he has seen are not ready for going in-depth on tuning unless you really have a passion for doing it. Pcm calibration is pretty intense and one wrong data entry kills your whole pcm.

so im ignorant.......i really dont care.......

No, you're right. In Santa Clara County (where I live), legitimate auto repair shops will not hire anyone from Wyotech or UTI.

thats why i went to New England Institute of Technology, and graduated with an Associates Degree in Automotive technology.

they teach you how to be a technician not a wanna be pitcrew member. i have learned more at that school in a field that interest me then i did at either of the other schools (URI for chemistry, and Bridgewater State College for biochemistry, both of which i found boring as all hell but the partys were fkin nuts!!)

this one looks promising to me http://www.efi101.com/ if only i was local..

but yeah i think it really more on how interested you are to learn.. you learn the concepts in school but to be really good your experience with tuning or tuning with a great tuner will get you where you wanted.. you're on the right track, especially when you have your own dyno you can spend unlimited hours with

That one looks pretty cool. I may have to look into doing one of those sessions and learning how to really tune.
