Default Anyone recomend me a good book for a beginner?

I really want to start understanding a PCM and tuning so I can tune myself someday.

I found one at Books-A-Million that was published in 03 but hesitated thinking it may be a tad too dated (didn't mention an LS1 engine for ex.)

Appreciate some links if ya have any

There is one dedicated how to tune your LS base engine with HPTuners. I forgot what is called though...

I agree, The Tuning School is easily the best learn at home system available today. It focuses on HP Tuners specifically, and as such we offer the book in packages with HP Tuners and/or and Innovate products you might want.

Trying to learn myself, I got the hang of the basics of tuning, but the book REALLY brought me to a new level of knowledge and confidence in my understanding of what I was doing and why.

Ok I'll check it out. I've always thought tuning was extremely intrigueing and have been wanting to give it a shot

Hoping for Hptuners to be under the tree come Christmas

I don't plan on attempting a single thing until I get a good grasp on the basics first
