I would like to learn more about tuning my own car's ems. I have an emanage ultimate on my car now and know it is a very antiquated system and intend on changing it out for a Haltech soon. I believe I have a good local tuner, but I understand there are many tuning tools/parameters available on the Haltech and I want to understand them all.

My question is where can I read up on and learn about tuning both in theory and practically for engine management systems? I would like to understand “maps” and the likes as well as how the dyno is used during the tuning process. I am also researching this myself online but am posting here to request further guidance from the experience of other members of my350z who may have already gone down this path.

I have degrees in engineering and law and believe I am capable of understanding these complicated systems.

I also understand this is some of your occupations and you may not want to divulge secrets of the trade. I assure you I only want to know for my personal benefit. I would appreciate your advice and keep it privileged at your request.
