Default High Performance Academy

Has anyone looked into High Performance Academy?

A set of online videos/webinars/forums/articles ... uses a z33 with a haltech for a few of the instruction?

curious to see if it's worth the money...

If 400 people donate, perhaps you can "share" the videos, you know for science.

anything for science! I signed up for the $19/month for the forum and webinar access and thus far it's been a great experience. I intend to purchase their course work as my cash allows. The videos are pretty well put together. They tune a DE 350z running a haltech platinum, Link G4 and a motec on a BRZ depending on the course. I'm a newb to tuning so this has been a great platform...

I follow the HPA guys on insta and they had a lack-luster finish to their Pikes Peak Hill Climb outing...who know brakes would melt?

the GTR powered Ford Focus

Not sure if anyone is interested but they put together a free 'basics' tuning course - 6 modules each between 10 minutes and 25 minutes long.

ive taken a couple of the classes and watched a few webinars.
they are pretty helpful and informative.

im currently taking the engine building courses.

their 350z is pretty neat. they have it setup that they can swap between the aem infinity, link g4+ and haltech elite within a matter of minutes.

Revisited a few webinars on knock detections and the lead instructor provided this website with audio sampling of knock at different RPMs and magnitudes. Thought it was helpful.

If anyone is interested in HPA stuff ... they've opened up a few VIP spots - $1500 for a lifetime membership.

I got in to their lifetime/VIP a few years back and it's been well worth it. Unlimited tuning, wiring, engine building courses, webinar, and forums ...

HPA dropped this video on Youtube on the most prominent issues they see. Pretty good information especially if youre tuning soon or dyno'ing your car soon.
