Don't knowsquat about the computer in the car. What is the bestway to learn? Any help and advice would be appreciated, Kevin

 

Ok, what is it you are trying to accomplish first with the car and second what do you mean get started?

You mean as simple as where to get a cable and software or things like where do I go to change my timing tables and why you would want to change your timing tables?

 

i think he means best way to learn about tuning our cars. which is what i wuld also like to find out. Im a beginer when it comes to tuning i can only take things apart and put thing together. but i would like to be able to tune my own car when i get my new cam this winter but dont know where to start.

 

Okay I'm back, 10:30 at night here in Calif. I know how to tune the older cars, but what I'm interested in is how and where do you learn to tune a computer car? How do you change the settings in the computer, after you have changed a stock engine to a stroker for example. Is this something you can learn yourself? Or did you guys go to school? Inquiring minds would like to know. Kevin

 

I just ordered LT1 edit for myself as I have a heads and cam car. I do have a mail order tune from Bryan at PCMforLess. I figured it was time for me to learn to tune myself.

Am I going to jump into this feet first? HELL NO! I am lucky in that I found someone who knows EFI fuel management systems and is willing to take their time to teach me though he runs his own shop.

I will sponge everything Sean will teach me but there are a lot of tutorials on the web for LT1/LS1 edit, which I will be reviewing.

www.carputing.com has a short tutorial that comes with the program but it does not help a whole lot with the learning curve. There is a lot to learn with EFI! Good luck!
