If Nate spent 12 hours and 100 runs of different types on the Dyno tuning any of our cars, I would agree there probably wasn't much left I could get out of it, but he didn't. I can datalog hours on the street, autocross, track, etc. making miniscule changes over months of time in the actual conditions I may be competing in if possibe/needed. And along the whole process, I will be learning, or so I hope.
I agree with Dean and would also like to understand the tuning side of things to know more about how it all works.

the funny thing is, who going to teach us? Its sad to say but I dont think Nate will do it, its already known that most tuners do not want to share thier secrets.(if there really is any secrets). I know Eric said the demo was real user friendly.

In the end I do fear what might happen as so called garage tuners start tuning in shops.
