You want the easy way or the hard way?
Easy way --> have Steve Kan (or other competent tuner) test and tune your car.
Hard way --> research + information/maps from others + your time + trial and error. (Start conservative and work your way up)
Either way, you need data from your car. Datalog the ECU data with WBO2 at a min. EGT would be good too. The more information you get for feedback, the better (and safer) you can tune your car.
Although there is science to it, tuning isn't exact. Every car is slightly different, so there will never be a plug-n-play your way to an optimal tune.
