modern interal combustion engine technology is not that complex, its when you intend to extract more power, that the guessing has to stop, and good practices have to start.
this is not to be looked at like -- "dude, you have to earn your dues", because that the way it used to be... you made a mistake, or miscalculation it cost you big time. I believe that if you have the knowledge, share it, make better modders and probably get a few more guys into tuning. not everyone will tune their cars -- but they sure should know this information exists.

+1 for the sticky.
