Take a look in the help menu from the scan or tune tool under tutorial. Also, the EFILive forum is a great place.

there is alot of little tweaks you can do. Lean it down a little depending on how it's currently running, change timing, fan settings if you have a low temp stat, delete skip shift. Need any help just give me a shout. I also have EFI Live

Welcome to the club.

Be prepared to keep researching and reading - I've had mine now for about 4 months and initially, I was overwhelmed with the info available and trying to make sense of any of it (definitions especially). Have a friend with a dyno and we did the initial WOT tuning together - since then I've been working primarily on the drivability tuning on mine with the H/C/I/stall mods and it has really made a difference. Still have a lot to learn, but I'm making progress.

The search function in this section is invaluable and also on the efi live forum - there are many people here that have been doing this for years and have put out a huge amount of tips / info.

It is overwhelming at first but before you know it you find your self very comfortable with your self tunning. (For me that is).
