SS/RS - will do sounds like fun
Camaro Show - That’s a loaded question Graduated before turn of the century (ME).
Frank - good suggestions; performance testing after adjustments will have to wait till morning I’m excited but not thirsty.
Who-dat - material provided seems straight forward. Looking forward to getting up to speed.
I admire the fact that you guys take on such challenges. I look forward to hearing your suggestions and contributions in other posts as well!

From where did you get the books, and what is in the clear package under the HP tuners box?

Hi Alan,

You may check the Master Engine Tuner portal: they have lots of stuff. Or look for more books and other resources for learning to tune here on the forum:
