Hmm... I know nothing of tuning a ECU, though i think if you went to a local tuning shop and asked about it they could expain all thats involved, I know that there is companys that tune ECU's for quite a bit of money. A ECU upgrade is about the cheapest per horsepower increase you can get.

To actully take apart and tune i think you'll need extensive skills in computer programming.

since you're in so cal, i would highly recommend TECHNOSQUARE. they do excellent work and come out and bust out the laptop and remap on the fly. Howard is an awesome tuner.

look em up on google, i forgot the web addy.
