coreen,
Welcome to the forum...
What degree course are you enrolled in...?
I am enrolled in an Information Technology Degree
What class are you writing the paper for...? Basic Information Technology
What books are on your references list...? I have not used books as a reference but websites.
Where are you generally located...?I am in the St. Charles, MO area.
Can you give us more information about yourself...? I am female trying to break into a new career and find tuning cars interesting.
What do you drive and what are your impressions of it. I drive an 06 Trailblazer and an 06 GTO. I have the GTO tuned by Keith McCord and absolutely love it but wonder if tuning my Blazer will give me better gas mileage and more longevity in my vehicles for that matter any other average car that people drive. Mt coworkers know that I show my GTO and have made to it and wonder if tuning their suv's and minvans and saturns will help them in anyway or if tuning if limited to those cars that are high performance.
There are other considerations besides engine tuning...
e.g. changing tire size and/or axle ratio requires an edit for speedo correction.
e.g. changing fuel tank/pump (as on a classic car retro upgrade to EFI) requires fuel system segment swap.
e.g. factory transmission shift feel is usually too soft, requires edit to firm up.
