Otherwise, I would read in the Wiki. It would be a long post if I tried to tell you how to tune your car

The AEM will work.
Crash course in tuning, very basic info.
If you have a turbo car: tune the fuel map to hold 12:1 anytime in boost. Log your Wideband on WOT passes and adjust the fuel map to hold a stable 12:1 all the way to redline. Then do the same with part throttle except 14.7 is the target A/F. I like to make it 12.5-13:1 from 10" of vacuum to 0.
If its a NA car, tune WOT to 13:1 or a lil leaner if you want. Then 13.5:1 for 10" of vacuum to about 2" of vacuum.
Timing is a whole other thing. There's way too much to it. Try to use a base map for your car and load boost tools. Make the retard .75/psi of boost for starters. Then do some WOT passes and watch your EGT. If it climbs fast up to 1500+, change the retard to .5/psi of boost. Do another WOT pass, if its still too hot try .4 and then .3. Monitoring a knock sensor is a good idea, specially if you get into the .4 or .3 area. Could be possible that if you get all the way to .25/psi of boost that your base map is shit.
Good luck

Make sure you buy a EGT man, rly worth every penny. If you see it climbing into the 1600 range at any time, LET OFF THE GAS!!! Be observant when you tune and take your time, I'm no pro but my cars run A+++++++
