whats a good place to start?
The novilty of having an engine in my car that actually runs is starting to wear off fast and id like to start modding the engine but i know absolutly NOTHING about prom burning. Are there any good books or things like that that give a general overview of prom burning and tuning the ecm? Im not expecting to learn overnight but id like something to use as a starting point.

The archives at the GMECM, and DIY-EFI are pretty good too.
From WWW.TUNERCAT.COM there is a link to the ecmguy's site, again intersting.

Have you read the VERY FIRST POST (Dirk's announcement) and traced it's links? If you follow it, it will take you to Tim's article which will give you all the introductory info you need PLUS all the links to other articles like Grumpy is suggesting.
Also, reading old posts (set your display to ALL and read the very first post) and you'll quickly see all the "newbie questions" and a lot more. Better than any book you can find.
Yeah, you might not learn it "overnight", but it will come a lot quicker than you think.

thanks for the replies. I was looking at the article a little earlier and it looks pretty interesting. I guess ill start small and learn to fine tune the ecm with my more forgiving stock motor before i do any mods.
