Default Teach me Greek!

Hey all,
I'm spending more and more time in the F/I section lately now that I'm eyeballing an APS TT kit to go in my car this summer. I'm wondering where folks go to learn about the function and need for things like Wideband 02 sensors, A/F sensors, voltage clamps, Greddy E-manage, Boost controllers, etc. I find myself lost in alot of posts in here, simply because I'm not knowledgeable enough about the technology to keep up.

Do you guys have any good sites, books, etc. that you'd recommend to get up to speed on this stuff?

Thanks!

PM me and I can give you my AOL Instant Messenger ID. I can help explain a lot of this stuff, im very good at that... it sounds like there is a lot you want to know so going thru posts would take a lot longer then a few live conversations.

Also read corky Bells's book called Maximum Boost. A easy, yet detailed read on all things F/I. Many of us use it as a reference.

i kind of feel the same way but, i read post after post after post and try to pick up things that way. i also visit different forums and learn from there also. i'm looking at the apsTT kit but, would like to know more about the ssr-engineering kit or speedforce racing kits as i've heard it is really called.

i guess the good thing about having a G35 is that since the aps kit won't be out for awhile i'll have time to read more and learn.
