engine mapping
Ok, I know I'm going to get shot down for this, but I want to broaden my knowledge and skills.
If someone were to want to learn more about ECU remapping - doing it for real - where would you suggest someone start?
Thanks.

As Gareth posted, take a look at www.efi101.com for more details.
If you're lucky you may get on the next course, which I believe is being run early next year.
One thing to note though is that it isn't a course that is going to tell you what numbers to put in to get the car to do what you want.
Instead the idea behind it is to teach you what you need to know to work out the figures you need for yourself.
It's very interesting, but also a very intense few days.
Highly recommended

Chip - would you even suggest using Megasquirt?

MS is as good for learning with as anything else.
Its irrelevant what system you learn, as Dave says, its understanding what an engine needs that is the key thing NOT understanding how you give it that thing.
So for example, knowing it needs to be richer or leaner, or more or less ignition advance, THAT is the key thing, not knowing how to do that in the software, thats the easy bit.
You could learn 50% of what you need to know about mapping just by changing jets in a carb and weights in a dizzy IMHO!
