Would the Coyote cookbook also be applicable to Cyclone? From the files for Coyote I've looked at, I see most of the same tables and setting. Anyone have experience tuning both motors that has used this book?

I don't know about the crossover, but I don't think the Coyote Cookbook is worth the money.
It's full of giant suggested changes, with no explanation in many cases. The descriptions frequently clash with HP Tuners documentation.
When I reached out to the author to clarify a few very specific questions left unanswered by his book, I got the line "we don't provide tune support". I explained that I was not asking for "help with my tune". I was asking why he suggested a certain change, and what affect it would have. He told me I should be thankful for him writing the book.
Nice.
I think the price should have been lowered since it doesn't ever appear to be updated and everything in it is outdated due to HP Tuners changing and/or new items added to 11-17s. I don't expect it to change that often but 1 revision in 4 years could have been on the table for new buyers. I mean I bought my cookbook this year...Originally Posted by CCS86
Knock Retard is the reduction or prevention of knock by lowering ignition timing:
(+) Adding Knock Retard = Reducing Timing. PCM is seeing knock.
(--) Lowering Knock Retard = Increasing Timing. PCM isn't seeing knock.

I think it's a good starting point for the absolute beginner. Where one can learn the layout and beginner basics.
If you want to learn the most, the forum has the most information for no price.
this forum as mentioned one of the best places to get info from & usably what ever problem that you may encounter someone else has possibly had it & there may be a post here regarding it
for me as I'm still learning these coyote's & did buy the cook book & the Tuning School book & found that you really need to take them both in but inevitably the info from here & some of these more experience tuners is priceless.
cheers.
I regret buying the Cookbook. Some of the information is flat out incorrect, with a lot of it being outdated. It would seem the book was written based on previous modular tuning experience and then trying to apply it toward the Coyote.
You'll pick up more from the forum.
