TEXAS EFIlive tuning/tech class

[nwtdiesel]

Mike Meyer is in Maryland right now teaching 22 students the EFI software and they are having a blast! Everyone went to the track last sat night and they did live tuning/logging on a bunch of trucks and last i heard they were tuning on a 06-07 Cummins. Evan Moser went 12.9 with no lift pump and stock cp3 and was very happy! We want to offer this fun event/GTG to you guys in Texas!

Here is what the class's would be:
*Beginners class Saturday (learning the software, basic tuning, scripting, logging, learning tables, discussion, questions answered and some 1 on 1.
*Advanced class Sunday (learning advanced tuning, twin turbo tuning, trans tuning, more detailed class, answer questions and 1 on 1.)
*Live tuning and logging (sat night everyone will go to the drag strip and do live tuning and logging)
*2010 Diesel Power Challenge Winner Dmitri Millard will be a guest speaker and talk about different set ups, motor builds, transmission builds, twin turbo set ups and answer lots of questions you guys might have.
*It will be a fun fun weekend!

Cummins tuning can and will be talked about and this class will help you cummins guys learn the EFI software. The Duramax and Cummins tuning isnt very different so alot of this class will help alot of you guys who want to learn the Cummins tuning.

If you guys are interested add your names to the list and once we see enough names we can all set a date and find a location. If any of you can provide us with a building to use that can hold up to 25 students you can attend class free. Class is $250 beginners and $350 for advanced class or $450 if you want to attend both days. Food, drinks and a shirt is provided. Lets get the list filled up and we can all set a date and have a fun weekend!

Nobody interested?

[JaMan]

Where would it be located? Texas is a Big state

[TheBigNasty]

I would love to, but at the moment it's hard to justify that kind of money for a skill I won't soon use. Good luck and I may attend if things are more sorted out by the time the class takes place!

[WUnderwood]

there was some interest in the other thread, Newly

[nwtdiesel]

It needs to be central so its the same amount of driving for everyone unless you guys have a suggestion. Everything is sorted out, Mike just did a two day class in Maryland and took everyone to the drag strip Sat night so they can live tune. If you guys want to travel to Las Vegas NV for the class then we can drop the price.

Here is what was available for the guys to learn in the hagerstown class plus some more info.

$250 Beginners class
$350 Advanced class
$450 To attend both classes

Instructed by Mike Meyer/MMLMM

EFI Live Beginners Class Sat July 30th

What you will learn:
• Reading tune from truck
• Use of the tuning tool
• Setting up FlashScan for logging, and additional parameters
• Use of the data logging/Scan tool
• Procedures for writing scripts, using scripts, and running scripts
• Adjusting tables, parameters and using the features to help do the calculations
• Basic fundamentals of tuning (Safe limits, making tables work with each other, etc.)
• Converting tunes into DSP2/5
• Flashing Modes
• Writing basic tunes (non race type tunes)
• Correcting tunes based on logs from scan tool
• Adjustments for Performance Parts
• Answering questions of students
• We will cover basic info for all engine codes (LB7, LLY, LBZ, LMM)

Everyone will walk away knowing how to write a basic safe tune for the Duramax.

What you will need:
• FlashScan V2
• Laptop
• Notepad

We will include drinks and lunch.
It will be from 8AM to Noon, 1 hour lunch, then 1PM to 3PM, a total of 6 hours with a aditional 2 hours answering 1 on 1 questions.
The cost will be $250 per student, and you must register and prepay by July 8th with a CC or MO.
Limited seats are available, so the sooner you save your seat the better.

The advanced class will be Sunday July 31st and we are still coming up with the details on the Advanced class.

PM me or call 702-737-7333 to register.

Add your name to the list if you want to attend, we will bring a few spare V2s for you guys to use if you dont have one. Please let us know if you need a V2.

From Mike: Hey guys.

The beginner class will be directed more toward the use of the V2, tune tool, and scan tool and what it can do for you. Basically how to use all the features of the V2, what all the tables in the tune tool mean and how they work together, and how to do real good data logging and apply it to your tunes. This is pretty beneficial for a guy that wants to learn everything about the software and hardware, yet looks overwhelming. The dodge guys will learn quite a bit in this class, as its not directed so much toward tuning and the tuning that is, is pretty general.

As for the Advanced class, this will be strictly Duramax. Some stuff may pertain to the Cummins as well, but not much. The advance class will be a lot of tuning info. This class will be for the guy that has thought about building tunes, or has tried adjusting tunes, but needs a little more direction. You will need to know the software and how it works, before taking this class or you will fall behind and not learn much. (I say that just for your info, some guys may grasp it easy, but trust me, there are quite a few that will be un-happy if they take this class without knowing the software). I would recommend taking the beginner class before this advanced class or study the software highly often.

I am putting some new curriculum together for the 2 class, making some changes that I have learned from teach other classes. Hopefully in the next couple days I can have something ironed out and ready to go.

As for where the class will be, is up to the interest. We have no issue doing the class here local with only a few students, but if we must travel, we MUST have plenty of students. Expenses are not cheap right now, nor is it easy to leave our business here in Las Vegas, while we are across the country, that all has to be factored in.

[yfz450_0569]

I might be interested depending on when it is and how my money is.. right now I can't afford it, but maybe in a few months. Might still try to make the first class either way. I've been wanting this class. I'm in the north east part of Texas, I would be happy with Dallas area, but there might be quite a few more down south I don't know.

[nwtdiesel]

We have 3-4 guys interested on CF and 4-6 guys interested here. We just need to get a list of names going so we can pick a date. If you guys want to attend put your names down and ill make a list.

I think there is some interest in DFW, but not enough commitments yet.

Once we get a little more commitment, we will lock in a date and a place.

We are shooting for early to mid September. Tell your buddies because we need a lot more guys to sign up before it will happen.

Pm or post and I will get questions answered. Thanks.

dfw.

what do we need to bring to basics and advanced classes?

[dag4566]

I'm interested. email info to dag4566@aol.com Would need to be Austin, SA, or Houston to be worthwhile for me.

That would be about 225-350 miles for me.

This is correct.

[crackerman]

well that puts me out. dont have flashscanh tool. as i am intending to learn this to help my friends out later on when they get ahold of efilive.

[crackerman]

i am gonna try and get ahold of a flashscan tool. does it need to have any of the gm or cummins tuning packages loaded as well? or will software on laptop be enough?

[hpi_jeep]

when I read the first thread it stated dallas/fort worth. san antonio is a big difference in time and $fuel.

I may have jumped the gun on reserving my spot. location will dictate if I'm able to make it or not. lock down a location and I can give a 100% and even pre pay if needed.
I appologize if I have jumped the gun on this.

[crackerman]

i have put out a few feeler threads on local dfw car forums, seeing if anyone of them can source us a location.

i am also planning on getting a v2 flash tool as well. so ill be ready to go

[MMLMM]

We can always come up with an extra V2 to use. Also the flashscan portion its pretty easy to pair up with a buddy and follow. The software is a free download in demo mode and that will get you through the class. So, technically you really dont have to have the V2 and software to take the class.

As for location, it is still in the air. Dont let it scare you away form signing up. When we see where everyone is located we can decide a close meeting place for all.

[crackerman]

place doesnt bother me. i am not able to attend in the 10,11 of sept for sure. the weekend after is still good.
should i contact a local hotel with a conference room to see about cost on a weekend?

[crackerman]

has anything been set in stone yet? are there going to be enough people to attend to even hold the course?

[MMLMM]

From the calls I am getting, and PMs, how would Sept. 17th and 18th sound in Austin Texas?

How many people would attended?

[MMLMM]

How about this....

Put down if you would be in for Austin on the 16th/17th or Austin 24th/25th?

Lets start getting a count. There is an airport in Austin so that would be helpful. If Austin is out of question, we can think about DFW area.

Lets make this happen. in September for sure guys.

[Kbracing96]

I'll be there for the advanced day. I just need to know when and where.... get'r'locked down!!! lol I'm in Houston.

[nwtdiesel]

Mike lets move the class to a different state. East coast guys want another class.

[crackerman]

good with austin sept 17, 18th

and no offense, but when you say TEXAS, it is a HUGE state. most east coast states could easily fit between dfw and austin (hell connecticut can fit in 6 counties around dfw).
so when most everything is 4 hours or more away from major city to next major city, it is harder to get around to.

took the maryland class figure this one will produce even more knowledge!

[Kbracing96]

DFW and Austin are about the same for me with Austin being a little closer and I have friends there I could stay with. Just get it locked down so I can make the plans. My knowledge needs to get bigger!! lol

[nwtdiesel]

Lets get all the names down so we can book flights, hotels and get over there to teach class!

First or second week in Oct

[Kbracing96]

I only singed up on this forum so I could put my name on the list for this class. I will be at where ever it is. I'm already an avid use for the last 5 years of EFILive, mostly gas but some diesel so I'm only interested in the Advanced Diesel class the second day. Put me on the list for that.

Kyle Brown, KBracing96

[jramon85]

Weekend of the 8th works for me. Also have a friend who will be attending the class

[crackerman]

down for dfw fisrt week of october. can make second week work if needed.

put my name on list for either. at this point just go ahead and lock in a date and let folks work around that. it would be easiest i think.

[hpi_jeep]

DFW count me in.
going to have to skip anything further

[Kbracing96]

Lets get all the names down so we can book flights, hotels and get over there to teach class!

First or second week in Oct

I think you just need to set the place and date... You've had a month to get "feelers" from folks. You can't please or accommodate everyone. ;) You can't expect to get anymore of a confirmation unless you get the place and date set. ;)

[nwtdiesel]

Like i posted several times we need a list of names of people who will pay so we can see if we can even afford to fly out to Texas. Its not that hard guys.. if your willing to pay and want us to come start a list, type your name then we can pick a place. We need atleast 10 people signed up they we can pick a spot, you guys pay, we get plane tickets/hotel rooms and its done.

[John Robinson]

I'm interested if it's on a date that we are not out.... I can supply a huge hall that's brand new & it's 45 miles from dallas for no charge as long as I can put 3 guys in the class.

[nwtdiesel]

Sounds great to me. We can use your hall Mr Robinson. We will take your 3 guys and ill need atleast 10 more guys to sign up willing to pay for the 2 day class so we can commit, pick a date, get payment, pay for flights/rooms.

Feel free to contact us 702-737-7333

Guys this will be our 4th training class. We started this training only to have others try and follow our footsteps. Nobody else has the experience Mike does training a class of students. We have the support of Ira and Robyn, EFI live and more. Read about our happy customers from the Maryland class here

Hagerstown EFI tuning class - Competition Diesel.Com - Bringing The BEST Together (http://www.competitiondiesel.com/forums/showthread.php?t=113958)

We flew across the country and taught 24 students. Yes 24. We went to the track and did live tuning on Duramax's and Cummins. We tune daily. Sled pull tunes, daily driver tunes, 1000hp plus tunes, smoke tunes, custom TCM tunes, mileage tunes, 2nd and 3rd gear start tunes...we tune for other companies, we build our tunes in house and do not out source others to build/script our tunes. Dont be fooled by others. Were trying to offer this knowledge to Texas residents. Sign your name up if your willing to pay and lets do this. Learn how to use your V2. Learn how to tune. Learn how to use the software. What more could you ask for?

[JaMan]

How much will you go into Cummins tuning?

[crackerman]

As long as its either the first or second weekend in october I am in for sure. After that I am out.
How can we pay? Credit card by phone? If I buy v2 can yall bring it with you to save shipping?

[Kbracing96]

You can put me on the list, I will be there when ever or where ever you have it. Oh and Oct 4 is my birthday, so I will be expecting gifts from everyone and cake and ice cream! :lol:

FYI for everyone, if your planing on buying EFILive for this or anything else, You should do so before Sept 12 as the price is going up $100 on that day. :)

[John Robinson]

Very good, maybe we can make it work....for pictures of the hall google Parker county posse. It's rented out for weddings & party's all the time & we will need to peg down a date so I can get it reserved.

[08txlmm]

I saw a similar thread on CF but haven't checked up on it recently. I would be very interested in this class but I can't say for sure until I know where and when it is. I live in Lubbock so to DFW or Austin it is a 6+ hr drive. Between the drive and school it is hard for me to make plans without knowing the specifics.

[Kbracing96]

So how is this class looking? I'm still VERY interested in attending!! :D

[hpi_jeep]

So how is this class looking? I'm still VERY interested in attending!! :D

X2. I would like to hear a date soon

[yfz450_0569]

Maybe I should put the money towards taking the class instead of getting someone to tune my truck.. If I were to just take the beginners class and later decide to take the other class also, would I have to pay full money for that class then too, or would I just pay $200 on top of the $250 for the beginners class? I'm about 3 hours from Weatherford so that would be a bit of a drive, plus staying the night at a motel if I went for both classes.

X3 on possible dates. That would also determine a lot for me.

[hpi_jeep]

any word at all?

[jramon85]

I spoke to Mike Meyer with Underground Diesel Performance and they are still willing to host a Texas class. I have volunteered to coordinate the details from here on. So far we're looking at the DFW area(possibly Weatherford but as of now location and date are pending on the availability of a facility). As of now we have the following list of people willing to take the course but we need a few more.

Count me in for both days in Weatherford. Josh, I will email you my cell number shortly.

Thank you guys for putting this on.

[crackerman]

I CANNOT make the class if it is on the weekend of the 3rd and 4th. 10,11 is ok. i will be out of town for training on the 4-9.

[knalb]

I am interested depending upon dates and further details.

[cafryer]

If you have one in vegas i will come to that

[Shift_Fast]

I will fly out to Vegas to attend a class there if you ever put one on. Keep me in mind if you ever do.

[Blazin Dmax]

I would be in for a vegas class. I just need a date set in stone so I can take time off work.

[Shift_Fast]

I got another guy maybe 2 who would fly down to attend also. That makes 3 maybe 4 for Vegas EFI Live!

[Kdubya]

Any word on a date for Weatherford Josh?

[jramon85]

Sorry for the delay guys. Work's hectic this time of year. Just wanted to keep everybody up to date on this. We have enough interest from here and CF but we still need to nail down a facility. I'm assuming the one in Weatherford in a no go since I have been uable to contact anyone in regard to it. If anyone has access to a facility in the DFW area feel free to call me and we'll get this thing rolling again. As of now let's gun for early January.
Thanks,
Josh Ramon

[jramon85]

Oh it's gonna happen. I'll make sure of that. I didn't buy a V2 just to clear codes. Lol I'm ready to learn. I'm on the hunt for a facility as we speak

[crackerman]

i posted some info on cf as well.

[12vriviera]

About how he had a facility in a hotel and discounted rooms for travelers and its fairly close(45 minutes) to a track..

[jramon85]

i posted some info on cf as well.

Sorry bud now that I no longer own a cummins I don't check cf as much as I used to which is why I included my phone number. Bridgeport works for me. I'll give you a shout tomorrow and we'll work out the details:thankyou2:

[crackerman]

sorry about that, i tried to shoot you a text, buuuuut someone doesnt get text messages.
its cool. holler whenever.

[Kdubya]

So, are we set for Bridgeport or what guys? Happy New Year to all!

[crackerman]

Still haven't heard anything...

[Kbracing96]

You guys can count me out. I couldn't wait any longer and am going to Starlight's class in Utah next weekend.

[Kdubya]

crackerman,

[EFI Support]

There is a class scheduled in Texas next month being run by Starlite. From memory he still has places available.

Cheers

[JonMunson4992]

When will it be? I'm interested. Jonathon Munson. And what all will we need to bring?

[EFI Support]

The Starlite Diesel Texas class was held in June.

I've seen some posts from Underground Diesel holding a class in Vegas in July, but that's about the only one I know of with concrete dates at this point of time, although Starlite has some planned on the East Coast for Sept/Oct (I think??)

Underground posted on this board here if you are interested EFI live tuning class - Las Vegas - Competition Diesel.Com - Bringing The BEST Together (http://www.competitiondiesel.com/forums/showthread.php?t=136003)

[luke7474]

Will they ever do one in Houston

[Duramax_lly]

Anything for 2013 yet? Would really like to take the class

[diesel_importer]

I've been trying to help the guys at Starlite get some contacts, so we can have a class in Texas. I found somebody around DFW that might let us use his shop.
