Glad to see others getting into the fun of tuning our cars.
There are a few data collecting software choices out there. Since I have only used Datamaster, that is the only one I can suggest. It does a great job for me.
As for tuning software, I like TunerCat because you can tune multiple VIN's and all upgrades are free. This works well when you have multiple PCMs on the shelf just in case. However, I think that there are just as many happy LT1_Edit users out there so I cannot knock them.
Basics, hmmm. Read this board and do a search on the internet. I did plenty of research before I started yet I am still learning. You eventually find what you need.
Is there something in particular you want to accomplish? Maybe start there.
