The Instructors
Bob Morreale
Bob Morreale is the author of several tuning related books and manuals. He wrote his first book, BM Computer Source Guide to Chip Burning (1999), to guide first-time tuners through the turbocharged Buick Grand National software and tuning methods. His second book, Tuning the Right Way (2007), is a course based on the HP Tuners software but also applies tuning knowledge to tuning of any EFI system. Many new courses have followed since then, including Avanced GM and Beginners Ford using SCT software.
Bob has over 14 years of tuning experience, having successfully tuned everything from the legendary turbocharged 1987 Buick Grand Nationals to 1940s big-block supercharged Willys (using FAST EFI system) to modern day LS7 Twin Turbo Corvettes boasting 700+ Turbocharged RWHP. Bob has also written numerous technical articles for industry-standard magazines. He also teaches automotive technology instructor C.E. classes at major Colleges and Tech Schools.
Bob’s primary roles are product development and teaching. He has taught students all over the USA as well as Dubai, Qatar, etc… He is well versed in airflow dynamics. His experience comes from his background in cylinder head porting and flowbench testing, as well as camshaft design and total engine power development.
Bob is an autocross and road-racing enthusiast and occasionally drag races.

Ian Thomson
Ian Thomson discovered an interest in tuning while working as an apprentice mechanic for a local performance shop. This interest was noticed by The Tuning School and Ian was hired and trained in the profession. He learned the concepts quickly and because of his ability to understand the concepts and mechanics behind tuning, he started developing The Tuning School’s 6-Speed Automatic Tuning Guide. Ian owns a 2008 Corvette with a 6-speed automatic transmission which has allowed him to devote hundreds of hours of transmission tuning time. His knowledge in this area is some of the best in the tuning field.
Besides instructing, Ian is also employed by The Tuning School as our Technical Support Representative. Ian’s education comes from Wyotech for Marine Mechanics. He also has over 400+ hours of flying single and multi-engine aircraft.
