Default Tuning Reading

I am getting prepared to buy HP Tuners to start logging and tweaking my tune. Before I do so, I thought about taking a class or reading a book so I have more background going into this. I dont want to f#ck something up because I did not know what I was doing.

Anybody ever heard of this book:

I also was looking at taking a class on tuning. Anyone ever heard of this school?

Those both seem like good resources Jason. I'd be happy to help you or Bill the best I can with your tunes.

I have the "Engine Management: Advanced Tuning" it is a really good book imo. It covers our engine family, as well as a few screen shots from HPTuners. It doesn't go into detail about what table to use to adjust what. but it does talk alot about the theroy behind tunning and the steps at which tunning should be done...

I have that book too. It is a good book for the theory of engine tuning, but like stated it really doesn't go into any detail. I would like to take the advanced class that Greg has talked about putting on as I think the basic class might be a little too basic for me if it doesn't go into much more depth than the book does. If I can ever get ahead on the bills so I could afford the class.

Thanks for all the replies guys!

I just ordered the book. That should be a start. I am going to look into the Tuning School now.
