Well there is a book called: Corvette Fuel Injection & Electronic Engine Control by Charles O. Probst which I highly recommend. It really doesn't have any specific info on tuning with any system but it does give you some insight into the different strategies within the PCM. It is aimed towards vettes but covers LS1's pretty decent. I have read it several times and still find it interesting. You can look inside of it on amazon and see if it is what you are looking for or most bookstores local sell it too.

Aha. A very interesting looking book. Much more interesting than "Chevy LS1/LS6 Performance". That book is crap.
