There are just too many people that don't have a damn clue what they just bought into and want to be spooned everything. The other problem is that too many people try to tune a modded vehicle as the first thing they learn with, they just make it 5x harder on themselves. I learn have to use it with a stock grand prix, then I modded it. Again with a stock GEN 3 LS V8 with my 2006 Sierra and again with my 2010 and now 2012 Silveado's for the GEN 4 computers. It makes everything to much better when the vehicle is stock and you see how everything works when stock.
I am still learning new things all the time and whats help me is knowing how the basics work. I have never done a speed density turbo setup on a LS V8 before but with all the time spent reading and using HPT on my personal stuff I know a great amount without having done it. I know the all the basic and even help others because I know what the tables are saying and the ways to change them.
The biggest things I say are to read, buy books to help understand how certain things mean and do. Then if that is not enough they have online training courses and the tuning school that people can attend. Sure it's alot more money but the knowledge you can gain from it is well worth the cost to most people.
