    How many would be interested in a Calibrated Success class for Fords?

    Just wondering who would be seriously interested in a Ford only training class held by Greg Banish(efi calibrator)?

    With the large differences between GM & Ford tuning I see alot of GM tuners trying to get their feet wet but because of the differences are a bit lost in the strategy ford employs, some things little & some things that could turn into big problems if not careful.

    Just wondering who would like something like this put together and what your city & state is to better identify what facilities might work out best.

    Again, no promises, just looking for feedback as to who would definitely go to a class if it became available.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    A wise man once said "google it"

    I would like to hold one here at my shop in colorado.

    I'm pretty central and colorado springs is a great town and not too expensive.

    I'd love to have greg come to colorado and put on a show for us. I am trying to round up local people now as we speak, as I was trying to get one of his classes going out here already.

    Ill even by all the beer for everyone.

    Bill, not to sound crude, but before this can be done, I seriously think you guys need to add in the Stoich AFR scalar to the Ford software, on top of the parameters I previously mentioned here on the boards in regards to the FPVT (fuel pump voltage table) limitations HPT has yet to implement. You're asking Greg to train people with software that isn't complete.

    X2 on that. There are sooooo many things missing that help proper tuning without work-arounds (and in some cases, no work arounds to some of the parameters). Even worse, in some cases the files are completely fubared with some F150 calibrations in the tranny sections (invalid values, and changing them have no effect). Then again, some of the same problems exist in SCT's calibration files. Real bear to setup a good aftermarket torque converter when there are 78, 2C or 13 in all the parameter sections you need to modify.

    Case in point, if you have a converter with a lot of disc lockup surface area, you can't modify some critical items in PCE1 (and the other codes in the calibration family). Really sucks with 4th gear lockup, because it can yield harsh lockups at very light throttle (too quick a lockup at low throttle). There are work-arounds for that, but they aren't optimal.

    If HP could support more parameters, and get them right where SCT didn't, the value of the software would go up significantly in my opinion.
    Having fun!

    Im interested even though im just jumping on the wagon. There are tons of 05 and up stangs around here. i have 6-7 friends i could tune for right now. but ive gotta be able to tune my own car first. if there is anywhere i can gain knowledge to tune my car other than the forums here also, please let me know. There are also several shops within the area and i know 1 of them would be more than happy to set something up.
