    Welcome to the forum. I would say that the best advice I have is to just familiarize yourself with datalogging first. Set up histograms or graphs to plot your data in a way that makes sense. You definitely don't want to make any tune changes without knowing how to capture good data, you fine tune and make changes off of good data. Below are some links to threads about common tune changes. If I can think of any more to add, I will post them. Best of luck! Just do as much research as you can before making changes. There's no such thing as a stupid question, ask as many as you can.
