I do most of the work on my own cars and it has been an accumulated knowledge over the years. I learn a lot from forums and books but have had a lot of input from fellow enthusiasts at local cruise nights, shows, etc that I attend frequently. I find most car guys are more than willing to help out and are likely people in your immediate area that my also give you a hand.
I'm not sure if your question is about engine performance or just tune up. If you are looking for upgrades I can give you a couple helpful hints. Don't over camshaft or over carb your motor. Choose specs that reflect how you drive the car. Remember too; it's not 1969 any more and todays poor fuel needs some assistance if your car is going to perform at its optimum.

Performance work is a little different than general maintenance. If I were you and if you have the time I would enroll myself into a general auto repair class at the local High School or Community College at nite or when you can. The performance work is learned by hanging with the guys at the cruise nites or down the local speed shop. Some things are seat of the pants knowledge and ability. Good luck! Sam
