Default Any Good DVD's for learning how to tune for dummies?

I'd love to learn how to tune.

I want to be able to tweak and understand tables and how everything works in general.

Are there any good DVDs out there that cover tuning with EFI Live ?

I'd love to go to a class but thats not doable for me.

I learn much better from watching vs. reading.

Ive watched his DVD and personally didnt find it that helpful, I got a lot more out of experimenting and researching what all the tables do. Just my $0.02...

YES i DID.

I know of that vid,my friend has it, and am going to be watching that soon,

I wanted to know of ANY DVDs out there in addition to this one that would be helpful to help a very cautious beginner start to tune.

I know there are tutorials but like i said watching is better for me than reading .

Thanks.

If TJ was closer i would def have him school me. He was very helpful in telling me changes and tables he uses, but its just sooo much for me to take in at once, very overwhelming LOL.

03sierraslt is great at tuning too and has been helping me ( appreciate it !!!) , But i really want to find a DVD to show how its done and how to navigate and use all the features of EFI Live.

I want to be able to ask better questions and fully understand what changes will react in my tune.

Somebody has to have made an instructional video ???? CMON!!!!

Problem is if there were any real informative how to DVD's out there it would put alot of the tuners out of business because everyone would learn how to do it themselves then the market would be flooded with tuners lol. Maybe not that drastic but you get the idea

I feel once you start your learning curve will go up quickly. the hang of logging the right stuff to change the tables you are working on. Once I had a hang of getting good data, I started quickly making a pretty good VE table...and quickly stopped once it got snowy

its the little things that you have to learn from someone.
