Are you looking to learn about the fuel injection system and how all the sensors work or how to actually tune the car using the appropriate hardware & software?

If the former, I found these books very helpful:

http://www.amazon.com/Corvette-Injec...2030926&sr=1-1

http://www.amazon.com/Modify-Chevrol...494932-6771811

If the latter, there really aren't any books out there, but I would highly suggest you start reading here:

Google "LT1 PCM tuning" and you will find some useful sites.

There is a good book by Charles Probst called "Corvette Fuel injection and electronic engine management". Very good book. Easy read. 350 + pages. Find it cheap on e-bay.

As byebyeL98 said when he suggested this book, it is a good book for learning about how EFI works. But it has absolutely nothing to tell you about tuning.
