85 Tuning help
Does anyone know of any good resources for learning how to tune an 85? I have paid for two different tunes now and maybe I am impatient but I don't think I am getting the support that I should. I haven't heard from the tuner since Last Thursday. I am just about ready to start hacking this thing my self but I don't know where to start. I have the software for logging, editing and burning just don't have a clue what to look at.

The DIY tuning section over at Third Gen.org is outstanding. There is enough information over there to make your head spin for a few days. I read the stickies over and over and over again until it finally clicked.
I started out with the stock bin for my car and went from there. Initially, I only changed the injector constant and some of the basic constants and tables like target idle speeds by temp, disabling EGR, VATS, etc. Next up was fueling, and now I'm getting ready to adjust the timing tables.
It's definitely more involved than that (interpreting data logs, etc), but that's the general idea.
