Cool, will purchase Dave Walker's book then
PhilM - I have one lecturer who would be of some use, will be picking his brains heartily when I return to uni. I'm wary of signing up for a course and finding it only skims over what I want to learn, rather than sticking me right at the operation point and having me working on engines and coming away with useful knowledge and experience rather than a few "9/10, good work" slips of paper from tests! Too many rip-off courses around
GARETH T - What do you aim to do?
Jano - Don't worry, I don't think I'll walk out of an engine mapping course with a scroll tied up with a pretty red ribbon then start mapping customer cars

I need the footings to get started, and the further through the learning process I can take myself by way of supervised studying/experimenting the better, I'm sure you'll agree
SECS - Cheers for the input
