We were all beginners at one point in time.
I think the best place to start is with an ALDL cable and laptop with TunerPro RT to learn data logging.

Thanks for response. I have a professional scanner so I'm fairly familiar with what good data looks like from the various parameters. The area I need to concenrate on is the integrater and block learn, which I assume are similar to STFT and LTFT.
INT = Short Term Fuel Trim
BLM = Long Term Fuel Trim
You can make some VE fuel adjustments based off scanner, but with TunerPRo data, history tables and a spreadsheet you do way better. You'll need TunerPro anyway to make changes to chip/bin file and it also does Data Logging.

Seems like you have car skills, now you need to work on PC software skills!

Ahhh... he may be used to STFT and LTFT being 0, where INT and BLM are 128, lower is taking away fuel and higher is adding fuel.

Thanks guys. Yes, cars are not new to me, I've been doing them as a hobby for 30 years. I realize the ideal tune can only be done on the car. At the same time, my mods are mild so any of you gurus could write a close to perfect tune right now. But that wouldn't be any fun, I want to learn and play with it.
Since the car runs really good on the stock PROM, I want to keep that one out of harm's way in case I really goof up.
I have a decent laptop, but I'm still struggling with what hardware I will need since there are so many options with strange names that I don't understand. Easy solution would be for me to beg for direction, however I want to read through some of the options first, and then come back to ask for clarification. I only want to place one order for everything I need to start, I am in Canada and want to avoid multiple shipping charges.
