It is interesting to me to know where everyone started learning to tune. Anyone care to share?

On a Grand Prix with a S/C 3800 engine. Very basic computers so I didn't feel overwhelmed while learning, then went on to LS based computers.

If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.
Roughly 2004, tuning friends' LS powered cars and my boosted 2V with Sniper Commando tuning(had no idea what I was doing lol) Then got hooked on tuning school, and evans performance and work at a speed shop now for the last few yearsI still learn new tricks daily! lol

1227730 and their lovely output drivers that seemed like they had a 6-month self destruct timer built in.
In 1995 before I was old enough to drive or own a car I was building a small block chevrolet in the living room of my father's house
By 98' I had learned to tune a carb and distributor for a blower engine in a Camaro and had read just about every small block build book out there
In 03' it was twin turbo EFI TPI stand-alone, and I had build a 700R4 to go with it
I recommend everybody start with mechanical control systems and brush up on computer programming before attempting to understand EFI tuning, leaning how engines and computers work individually without each other will help you tune one using a computer after the fact trying to merge the two

Tuning in general, 1971 on a 67 Camaro. Worked at a lawn mower shop with some older guys that were heavily into drag racing and learned a lot from them.
EFI tuning, 2003 a friend bought LS1Edit and didn't have a clue how to use it. He let me figure out how to use it on my car in exchange for teaching him how to use it. I had Autotap for data logging. Bought my own HP Tuners (serial cable) in 2004 and everything just progressed from there. Knew a guy that had a performance shop that primarily worked on Mustangs that bought a Dynojet and I started using it to tune GM vehicles. It's never been a full time job though.
Chainsaws, mower's weedeaters - adjusting carbs, swapping carbs, swapping jugs then seeing what did what from there. Then off to school and to the dealerships being the go to drive-ability guy then to the performance world and evolving from there. Guess I'm the "odd ball"
