Tuning voodoo
Is there anyone out there who would be willing to take the helm of a forum here specifically on tuning? I think this is more my own personal interest at this point more then anything else, but I'm a real newb at this and am having trouble getting my mind around all the details. I'm sure all the info is out there somewhere, but it's like search for bits of a needle in a haystack before you can put the pieces together.
Yeah, I know, what I am looking for is an Idiot's Guide to Corvette Tuning.... 
But I doubt I am the only one.
Stuff I want to see addressed:
- What exactly is a wideband O2 sensor and what the heck do you do with it?
- When a "performance" Diablo Predator tune is loaded into your vehicle, what EXACTLY does it do?
- What are the DO NOT do's when getting your feet wet doing the tuning yourself?
- What changes to tuning are required (or at least recommended) after specific mods are done?
- What specific tuning parameters would be most targeted to us Florida folks living here at sealevel and not really having to worry about seasonal climate changes for the most part?
- Anything else that is important but I am too ignorant on the subject matter to know they are important........
If someone is qualified and wants to have an entire forum dedicated to this topic, I am willing to do that. If you are a shop and want to use this as a launch pad to promote your own business, have at it. I don't have a problem with that idea at all. Just as long as it benefits the membership of this forum as well as your own business in tandem.

I want to wait until things are finalized. They may not be willing to spend the time that may be necessary for what I want here. So rather then making them possibly look bad for backing out, I would prefer to just keep it under wraps.
I think this is the fair way to do it.

OK, I just got the OK a little bit ago about this tuning forum and sponsor I was talking about earlier. Greg at Anti Venom has agreed to be the sponsor and head honcho of a tuning/tech forum I am going to be setting up here. I suspect Tom may join in as well, so it should be real interesting.
I'll be setting this up in a day or two..........
