Default I'm a fast learner, but...

I'm having a hell of a time sorting through the quagmire of information on tuning a car. What is a person to do?

BTW, just recently purchased Flash Scan and I love it. If only I knew what to do with it!

From what i have seen, you must have profound knowledge of engines and how they work to be able to tune. After that its pretty much knowing what changes to what tables will produce x effect.

Also the tool that you are using is harder to use then say hptuners. It also cost alot more (about twice as much)

Since I already had EFILive pro, I took advantage of the special. $199.00 + $35.00 shipping. I think that's a pretty good deal!

I also have a good understanding of engine dynamics. It's putting all this electronic stuff into perspective that hurts my head.
