Easy? Doubtful.
There is a lot of stuff in there, very overwhelming. Trying to do as much reading as possible here and on the HPT forum. Ordered the beginner home version of The Tuning School, heard nothing but great things about it, figured the more info I have, the better.

Congratulations!
People have different experiences with VATS, injectors, etc.
As an example, mine wouldn't fire at all until VATS was disabled.
Also, while the injector 'click' test can indicate that they are opening & closing, it doesn't necessarily mean that the valve (or whatever it's called) is sealing completely, or to what degree the injector is clogged (or not).

Thanks!
Did a little messing around today (removed rear O2s, messed with tach settings and emissions) and it ran smoother. Still need to tackle fuel pressure, around 50 when running, then dropped close to 40 while running for 5 mins. Will try cleaning my pre/post fuel filters. Still going to have injectors cleaned in case they are creating any issues. Holding off changing any other settings until I received my Tuning School at Home book this week and understand what all these settings mean.

Hey, good job on the dyi approach. I took mine to a tuner to get it running.

Thanks. I applaud all those who have learned how to tune, very intimidating when you go thru the menus.
