The point that I was stressing was quite valid in my eyes, and I'm happy that you took it seriously. I can appreciate the common user who wants to know just enough to get by. The majority of people who quickly whipped up their own setup only need enough expertise knowledge to simply get by. I may be a rare example to actually yearn for it all.. but I would like to think that there are others out there like me.
I've been in the game for a while and I would like to assume that I have the respect of many of the pioneers of the movement. You have accomplished something that will live on for years to come and you along with the rest of the founders of honda technology have made something complicated into a DIY's dream. One of the biggest reasons I keep owning honda cars is because of the friendly DIY scene that has been implemented all thanks to the full reverse engineering of the ECUs. I understand how some individuals have decided to make a few bucks and churn out products like Hondata & Neptune. Business is business. Some people come out with a great product that serves for the mass population of sheep. My true respect goes to the individuals that do it for the love of the game. I like how the Grippo and Bowling project is taking years because they want it to be perfect.
You just let me know how I can help

Blundar is college student with personal and family lives to maintain. xeno is a new home owner with a growing business he is trying to offer more products for, and I think he's getting married soon-ish, to a girl no less!!
This is a great idea, and I think everyone cares deeply about it, but it's #10 or #12 on the list of priorities. Pinging this thread every so often keeps the idea up, but being patient is what I recommend.

Re: ONLINE TUNING CLASSES
Um, buy Jeff Hartman's tuning book(not Ben Strader's book). As you spend the next couple of weeks reading and digesting what is found in there it will give these guys time to get their ---- together. It will also give you a more informed stance to ask questions if this online tooning class ever did occur.

Ben's is for dummies. Its like, hey injectors open and close and deliver fuel. Jeff's book actually talks about tuning, setting up maps, whats involved, how sensors work, and various other useful info. For the extra $5 you get about 1000x more useful information with Jeff Hartman's book.
