Default Gauging intrest Accel Gen VII Tuner Class

If I could set it up for us to have a class on tuning with the ACCEL Gen VII and the class was taught by ACCEL would anyone be interested? It is like a 2 day class. First day is classroom, and the second day would be on the Dyno actually doing tuning. I am working to try to set this up, but it looks like I need like 20 people to get this going. I know of a couple but want to come up with 20 people. The cost would be something like $500 plus the day on the dyno, that the cost would be split between the students. If we have 20 students, we split the cost 20 ways, if we have 30 students we split the cost 30 ways. I am going to try to get the total student count from our group and other local groups but getting 20 might be a bit of work. If your intersted let me know... And if you know of anyone interested let me know.

I'm interested but I doubt I can make it time wise.
A good video and a manual would work since we are all over the US and Canada.
I had my first tune professionally done and looking at the data I swear it looks like a different motor.
Tuning tips are scarce as hens teeth.
Some of us use the Commander 850 Holley files for tips.
I know Accel has been sold to Prestolite and they have an excellent product but need a gen 7 tuning for dummies book like the Gen 6.

The computer is excellent and looks to be highly usable even to a novice with some instruction.
I haven't had much time to play but this winter I plan on learning the basics.
I just got my laptop set up and all the stuff to hook it up.
I doubt I have over 50 or 60 questions ! LOL
I know with this computer there will be built engines of every shape size and power adders, positively a nightmare for a one or two day class.
And yes I would be interested in a class but doubtful of attending one as I travel , alot .

I agree that a Video and all would have been a great idea, but they do live teaching and I am trying to set a class up here in Utah. The class will not be held until like Feburary or March so if you can make it let me know, and I will add you to the list. If not, after the class, I am going to see what else I can put together about tuning on this thing. I have not gotten the chance to install it on my car yet, and as soon as the engine is back in, I will have it on there, and want to put together a tutorial that I can put out there if it helps anyone else in my shoes.
