EFI University - Electronic Fuel Injection Tuning, Training and Certification

I am currently going to a Community College for a 2 year Auto Technology program and a friend of mine told me about this class. I was just wondering if anyone went to it, and how they felt about the class.

A little bit about me: Ive been working on cars for about 2 years now, working at a Monro Brake and Muffler shop doing normal maintenance, nothing big yet. I knew I wanted to get into doing performance work since day one. I will be graduating my automotive school in may of 09. The work that I have done on my 93 eagle talon Tsi Awd: FMIC kit, flywheel and clutch, welding the clutch assembly, and normal maintenance. I never got into any tuning my self yet.

I also heard that UTI was not worth the money, or else I would be considering that also.

So if anyone went to this class, or knows about it and has more information that would be great.

Thanks,

-Steve

In general, most of the heavy advertised "colleges" are nothing more than the "ebay turbos" of the schooling world.

They cheap out, advertise alot, but to offset the massive advertising costs, they have to charge you a ton of cash.

I doubt you would actually learn anything that cant be self taught, get a car, get a ECU you can tune, and go from there. IDK why anyone would want to pay to be able to work on someone elses cars for 2 years... IMO you would get better experience and training VIA a community college, and having a car that you can work on of your own.

At the community college you might end up paying $4,000 for a 2 year auto degree of the same caliber as the UTI and WYOtech bullcrap, but you got to live at home (or a cheap apartment), and pay 1/5th the cost of a private school.

The tuners that companies look for out in the world... are not products of a semester class at a "random" school, but ones that have years of hands on experience in the field.

when in doubt YTMND - READ A BOOK NIGGA

Thanks for your input. I also did enjoy the "Read A Book" video

You'll probably save more money getting each tuning software and tune a car with it. And learn more.
