Need recommendation on books to learn EFI

What do you guru's (you know who you are.......) recommend for a good source to read up on EFI systems - specifically TPI. Troubleshooting guides, modifications, tuning, etc. Doesn't Chevy have some manuals?

Thanks.........

Do some searches on the DIY Prom Board. Those fuel injection books are good for "general information", but if you REALLY want to learn about your EFI system, get into Eprom Burning and start be reading Tim's Prom Burning article (plus links) along with all the old posts.

Most of the things we work with on the DIY Prom Board is way too advanced for any Fuel Injection Book and the Prom Board is probably one of the best sources for information on your EFI.
