Question Looking for Some ole Tuning Books

Hey all;

Well, I should have my SAFC controller when I get home today or tomorrow!! Yeah me!! And, I just ordered a datalogger. It's still going to be awhile, probably not until it gets warmer, before I start tuning. So, I got some time to read up on how to tune. Can anyone suggest any books or reading material that will help out? I want to learn about how the timing gets advance and retarded and why. Basically, I want to learn everything about tuning, so when I hop in my car and start tuning, everything goes smoothly.

I will be using the Apex SAFC1 and just the plain-old palm datalogger, so if there is any specific information on how to use these tools, and make everything work perfectly, that'd be great. If there's info for N/Ts, that'd be even better. Thanks all!

How much performance do you think you will gain from tuning a n/t?

Just do a search on google or something and you should come up with plenty information. Here is a little bit of information that I found.
