Tuning Beginner Looking to Learn How To Tune Properly

im not new to forza been playing since forza 2 but i never really tuned any of my cars i just slapped a few upgrades and off to the races i went,but now i kinda wanna learn and reading the descriptions of the effects in the tuning menu just doesnt make any kind of sense to me so im looking for any expert tuners that are will to take the time to teach me how to tune while tuning i car i been wanting to preform better when in lobbies with friends, if anyone is interested message my gamertag on xbox live ATK Blackdawn, im willing to do twitch feeds and live telemetries to give as much feed back as possible

A good starting point is to check these two excellent tuning guides:

If you are looking for how things work/not-work and why, I can explain things. Can’t say I’m an expert but I like to think I know what I’m doing.

Check out Worms guide it’s a sticky at the top of this forum, and my own guide.

Try and take notes from as many sources as you can, you may find some contradictions but overall it will ultimatly broaden your knowledge base.
The biggest thing I can really suggest is to get your noodle around what the parts do and how they effect you car.
Then secondly lots of trail and error and testing, if I can help you in anyway with this just give me a shout.
