Where to Find Tuning Info - Books, Tech Articles, etc.

Just wondering if anyone knows of any good books, tech articles, websites that should be read by enthusiasts new to tuning. I know there are seminars for the AEM unit, but are there any sources that provide general / must have tuning information?

To understand how and what you are tuning, I would recommend books on automotive engine electronics, engine control strategies, internal combustion physics, etc. Try amazon.com. This knowledge will provide a greater understanding for diagnosis, consistency and error free tuning, etc. As for a good beginner clas try EFI101.com, its a bit pricey. Good Luck

Car Hacks & Mods for Dummies by David Vespremi. It's not bad if you really don't know much. It at least will give you a general understanding.
