From those of you who have purchased the Greg Banish DVD (GM EFI Tuning Beginners Guide) did you think it was worth it? Any disappointments? Any other tuning material you recommend? I'm a competent beginner (Did my heads/cam/intake/supercharger/converter/rearend/etc. myself) but I'm new to EFI tuning. Any advice/recommendations you can provide would be great. Thanks!

The more information/ material you can get your hands on, the more you will learn. Best thing about Greg's DVD is he not only explains how, he explains why.
Between a few very informative threads here, the guides on ls1tuningguides, and Greg's DVD you will have a very good foundation to learn and build upon.
All that said yes it is worth getting his DVD.
I have the calibrated success DVD that you can take off my hands if you want it. I'd sell it for way cheaper than buying it new.
2016 Silverado CCSB 5.3/6L80e, not as slow but still heavy.
If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.
Sure, PM me with a price.Originally Posted by 5FDP
You still have dvd
there is def some good info in the DVD i need to go back and watch it again. I learn better by watching, so the DVD was great for me. I also bought it second hand and save some money (sorry Greg).

As long as you bought a legitimate copy used, I have no complaints. I'm glad you were able to find a deal and liked what I had to offer.
For those who think it might be a good idea to fence bootleg copies, well, bad idea... I'm already dealing with one prime offender in federal court. This takes time and resources away from my ability to make future training material available to you guys.
Greg,
Have you released a newer version with more injector data? It seems there's a lot of new injector choices since your original DVD. Granted, some of them (like injector dynamics) come with all the data you need anyways, but some don't.
2010 Camaro SS M6. Stock Bottom End, Heads/Cam/Intake/Headers/Exhaust.
2005 Silverado RCSB. Forged 370 LQ9/Borg-Forced Inductions T6 S484/Jake's Stage 4 4L80E with D3 Brake/4WD.

Greg's DVD coupled with his book; "Advanced Tuning Techniques", are the absolute tops in my recommendation list. Those two resources together are a very powerful combo when it comes to picking this stuff up. You can also use the search function and read everything Greg has helped with here in the forum. Guys like Greg, DSteck, Soundengineer, Bill, RussK are all people you should read around...and that is just to name a few! They are a cornucopia of knowledge!! HAHHAHahhaha...
2000 Trans Am WS6
I highly recommend Greg's DVDs. Yes, they are worth the money, no question. I also recommend his books if you want to understand everything
going on with the motor and why you are changing the parameters that you need to change. Two excellent books on how to use HP Tuners that
everyone should own are "The Ultimate GM Tuning Guide for HP Tuners" by Don LaSota, and "Master EFI Tuner - GM EFI" by Dan Maslic. I consider
these two books and Greg's first tuning DVD to be essential to learning how to tune correctly.
Anyone have this for sale second hand? To get a new one shipped here it'll be over $400... Ouch!

Worth it. I wish he came up with new ones.
I purchased both of them and definitely worth the money. I have yet to find someone offering one or both used.
