i've always wondered about that..
how do you reset your rpm gauge so you know when you need to back it off.... and that's not even the hard part...
resetting the ECU's rpm codes and it knowing when to govern after you do bore modifications whether it be overboring, stroke, compression... valves...

i'm sure there's formula's and sh!t, but i doubt that most hotrodders had any clue as to that... yet another year to the School of Hard Knocks.

most just modded until the engine blew... but those with a smart buddy or a dad to help knew the thresholds of the engines by heart...

now wi/ EFI engines it's like you have to buy an aftermarket ECU so you don't waste all that money on a blownup engine, but when you start getting into your own set ups... i mean hell... you're talkin about learnin some serious stuff for software tuning.

someone needs to write a book.. lol, the other ones i've read did pretty good.
