Here are some books I have read and found helpful in regards to tuning. Its hard to grasp tuning if you don't understand what the engine is trying to do and needs. Knowledge is power...soak it up!

Beginner:
How to Tune and Modify Engine Management Systems (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0760315825/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1426128090&sr=8-2&keywords=how+to+tune+and+modify+engine+management+ systems&pi=AC_SY200_QL40&dpPl=1&dpID=51k3LIfHSlL&ref=plSrch)

Engine Management: Advanced Tuning (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1932494421/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1426128090&sr=8-3&keywords=how+to+tune+and+modify+engine+management+ systems&dpPl=1&dpID=61JddPQFFAL&ref=plSrch&pi=AC_SY200_QL40)

Intermediate:
Forced Induction Performance Tuning: A Practical Guide (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1859606911/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1426128330&sr=8-1&keywords=forced+induction+performance+tuning&pi=AC_SY200_QL40&dpPl=1&dpID=516NvCWhpnL&ref=plSrch)

Engine Bible/Advanced:
internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1259002071/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1426128453&sr=8-1&keywords=internal+combustion+engine+fundamentals&dpPl=1&dpID=41zoZdgOG0L&ref=plSrch&pi=AC_SY200_QL40[/url)

I ordered the 2 books in the beginner section. How to Modify arrived first. It's a VERY SLOW read. Engine Management by Greg Banish is great so far. It's well written, concise and he gets right to the point. Greg takes 1/2 page to give you the same info the other book says in 5 pages.

Start with Engine Management Advanced Techniques.

Good feedback, hopefully that saves people some time! Its been a number of years since I have read the books. They are just the ones I remember being helpful and worth the read.
