We're should I start? Books, HPT Forum, ect?
The Tuning School has a course you can get.

Greg Banish has a couple of DVD's and books. I have the videos and they helped a bit. If you want to borrow them just pay the shipping and I'll send them to ya.

There's also a new guide by Don LaSota with Bryan Herter of PCM's for Less.

Only $75. http://www.lasotaracing.com/MOHPGMTuningGuideSALE.html

Ed, referring to timing tables there bud. You can overlay all g/cyl rows to match perfectly and no need at all for trying to fiddle with timing in different ranges. Set timing tables to mimic the old style vac advance. Timing is then based on RPM. Ensures that there will be absolutely no way for the car to grab timing from anywhere else... I know you've must have seen this before, and would only do this on a dedicated 1/4 mile car. I've seen guys set them up from 24* to 30* at idle and a straight line as high as 50* up top depending on compression and fuel used.

Here you go man. Get this and just do reading on HPT forums and it will be overwhelming at first but once you understand what each table does it makes it much easier

It won't "grab timing" from another row if the tuner has a clue. Even full tilt race cars with FAST, etc, ECUs aren't tuned that way by most pro tuners.
