You can start by reading this material:

Our motors are SD(Speed Density) not MAF (Mass Air Flow). Frankly there isn't much difference since one calc's airflow and the other measures it directly. Fundamentally, there isn't much diff between LS and LT-5 calibrations except that the LS has had 16 years of additional development. The LT-5 egine management has been frozen in time. But the basics are the same, Fuel, Spark etc. However, it helps to know some of the "quirks" or characteristics of the motor.
If you decide to start tuning, jus a word of warning. Once you realize you can tailor the tune to your liking, it gets pretty addictive.
There's always one little thing you want to change or try.
