Banish also has a DVD that's supposed to basically be a classroom for beginners on a DVD: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SM...1/?image=large .

I've never watched it myself but heard a lot of good things about it.

There's also a book called Master EFI Tuner or something like that from Masport Speed Shop. Not sure if that is still available or what though. Last time I contacted them they were coming out with a new version so I've been waiting.

All I ever used was the HP Tuner's help files, hptuners.com, and to a lesser extent, this site.

If you are smart, don't suck at math, and willing to put the time in, you will learn it.

You want to start out with something simple. No wild cams or power adders.

Don't remind me, about to swap to some stage 2 heads, 36 lbers., and a reverse split cam. Got my work cut out trying to tune this thing on a 98 ECU. Well at least I have a wide band to watch.
