With information in this book, you'll never have to wonder if your tune is just right - you'll know it. If it isn't - you can change it. After a description of what programmable EFI offers its users, author Ben Strader (founder and senior instructor of EFI University) gives a detailed account of what you want to accomplish with your EFI system, then shows you how to get there. You'll learn to: define air and fuel requirements based on horsepower and RPM; set up your base fuel and ignition maps to get things up and running fast; tweak your fuel and timing maps for light- and heavy-load situations; and adjust timing for cold-starting or high-boost conditions. In the second section of Building and Tuning High-Performance Electronic Fuel Injection, Strader gives a detailed description of the systems from 11 respected EFI manufacturers. He helps you weigh the info on cost, features, tunability, and ease of installation between the available systems, so you can find the high-performance aftermarket EFI system that's right for you.

 Very good reading
I can highly recommend this book. It is written in such a way that you will enjoy learning about the subject at hand. It is not overly complicated at all and has helped me understand a lot of things that I `thought' I already knew. The second half of the book is dedicated to an in depth look at what different companies have on offer ECU wise and the pro and cons of each one. This is all done in a very unbiased way too
If you have an interest in tuning modern engines or are about to pay someone to do it for you then this is the one for you

This book is a must if you are thinking about updating your Carburator system to EFI. It goes from what tools you will need through the different sensors that are required and has detailted descriptions of many of the aftermarket EFI systems available.

 Good book for beginner tuner
I think this book did a good job of explaining the basics of EFI and how it works. Each chapter breaks down the pieces used to run EFI and why they do what they do. Then after explaining how it works he goes through some of the more popular EFI standalones and what their advantages are. Not a book thats going to help you tune out that nasty knock you get at part throttle, but good to explain how all the pieces to an EFI system works. I hear its a great warm up to his EFI classes also.

 Just an introduction
If you have done troubleshooting on a stock e.f.i system, you probably know most of this. If you know nothing at all, it's a start. This should have "BASIC" somewhere in the title so we are not mislead.

You CAN learn to tune your EFI!
Read the book and follow the instructions to the letter and you can learn to tune your EFI. I did. Very clear and understandable. Even better, read the book and go to EFI University. Google it.
