Best thing is to do alot of reading here on HT and then get a motor that you dont care about and try to do it..

I am pretty sure the unanimous answer is going to be get started with the EFI 101 class that Ben Strader teaches. From what I hear he goes through everything it takes to tune an FI engine from scratch. Or, you can learn on your friends cars, that way when it comes time to tune yours it won't be a problem.

I laughed too and the though that came to mind was "if I saw it on the internet, it must be true"


I like dude who says "start by tuning your friends cars and then you'll be all good when it comes time to tune yours"

Wow !! What are friends for - I gotta get me some like dat *****

You can't just up and 'learn' to tune in an afternoon. It takes time and is a long process. Even the top tuners are never done learning, the best guys learn something from every tuning session and add that knowledge to their arsenal. Your best bet is to find an experienced tuner in your area and maybe help them out on jobs etc etc.
