I have no Idea looking for some help

first theres a good about of reading you need to do. it'll take you a couple of weeks to get an understanding, and a few months to feel somewhat capable.

youtube is your friend, as well as google. there are hjundereds of step by step how tos.

firs thting is to post up your scan file, what engine modifications have been done, and well, basically everything you are trying to do, wanting to do.

theres literally no help any of us can provide without knowing what you are doing, or working with.

I think I accidentally deleted my post...

General jist of it: Watch "goat rope garage" on youtube, he has an entire tuning series with about everything you need to know. Take notes. Flash a stock tune file with your engine and transmission from the repository. If you can find a tune with mods similar to yours you can try it out, but be wary of it and pull some timing out in the beginning just to be safe. Google is your friend but don't be afraid to ask questions if you can't figure something out. Good luck!

You can check into my videos as well. Goat Rope is good, but don't always take one approach at it. There are a lot of things to learn. Also, he doesn't do the forum thing as far as I know, so getting real help is a bit tougher over on youtube. LS1Tech is another fantastic site, and where I spend most of my time.
