Good evening everybody. I don't know exactly where to go, or where to start. as far as asking questions. I love this whole new tuning, tweaking stuff to ECM eprom chips. I know i have a lot of research to do ahead of me.
But for the question i Have for right now.. wait, back-up..... truck specs first

chevy 350 TBI
New cam. (no idea what it is) as far as tuning, should i take the intake off, see if i can see the number and look it up to get the specs?
or through tuning i can figure it out?
straight exhaust - Xpipe - dual glasspacks, no cats

so, since I'm trying to figure out the Tunerpro, chip burning road, instead of carb'ing it out. obviously i want to keep the ECM.
I guess my main question is are their definition/XDS/TDX/ADX files in this site where i can find other guys tuned chips other guys have changed/tweaked that might be similar to my setup that i can load/compare. burn to chip and see if the truck runs better?

Where would i start in tuning to compensate of a mild cam? <-- my apologies for this question if its too broad, or if i could find the answers somewhere in the forums, theirs just so much information to decipher, read, understand. its hard to know where to go.
Like i said, I'm still very new to programming, and i know i have lots To read up on. So any and all advice, tips pointers is greatly appreciated :)

Get the service number (ex 1227747) and broadcast code (ex ASDU) off the ecu first. That will let you know what definition files to use and where to get started.
Tuning is fun, takes a lot of trial and error but it's worth it.
