The one thing I see missing from today's advice is the redirect to (link in sidebar) Bare minimum tuning knowledge webinars. I was there when this sub was concieved and incepted, I had just bought tuning port (Cobb AP) and wanted to understand more, but they were smart enough to stray me away from tinkering with my new engine that could cost me $8-10k to replace if I made mistakes.

I wanted to do the same thing, and these guys made me see the light as well. You may even find a local meetup or club and ask around to find someone that has tuned your vehicle before and absorb info from them. Start with what you drive and go from there. My suggestion is to start learning about engines in and out, learn what each sensor does, and join a message board specific to whatever car you drive, and see if they have a tuning forum.

I hate to make it sound like you shouldn't learn though. For example, you could start cranking up ignition timing because you heard advancing it increases power, then get a ton of KR and wonder why your car runs worse than before, and even worse, you could damaging your engine.
#WHAT IS ECU TUNING HOW TO#
Last, you really must know how to read live sensor data and what each sensor does and how they react to certain engine conditions before you start trying to tune an ECU. HPTuners started out with only GM vehicles, but they do have a lot for Ford and Dodge now I believe. I'm sure there are others that are cheaper, but many of them are restricted to a certain group of makes and models. I've only used HPTuners, but this was like $700 when I bought it.
#WHAT IS ECU TUNING SOFTWARE#
You buy a tuning package, it comes with software and an OBD2 interface, and connect your laptop via USB to the OBD port on the car. You are correct however about how they work.

The closest you'll probably get to that is like a JET programmer if they make one for your car, and those are questionable at best. Also, IMO there's not really a way to get into just a small bit of tuning, at least safely.
