psig - This one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ItkpVofKLw
Great, thanks! Not the same as others I've seen, but a similar basic message. A more technical version of similar principles is given by Andy Wyatt
here.

Like most things… it depends. But in the majority of basic setups, the primary tables are enough to get usable results. If that's not enough to get you there, multiple tables, blending, etc, (replacement for MAP or TPS prediction) are usable if required or desired, such as one method Mykk recently described
here. Empirical tuning from similar approaches by Andy Whittle using MegaLogViewer data plots is
here.
Off-topic but related: This often brings the point that Speeduino (or whatever brand) doesn't have certain functions or capabilities, and so is inferior or not usable, or similar comment. I won't say those comments are entirely wrong, by my personal challenge is to find ways to use what is available to get the job done as well as possible. This often results in much better function and performance than one might anticipate. It's sort-of like being given a rock and a stick, and figuring-out how to accomplish a task using only those tools. While using a different system
may be easier to click for results, approaching problems from this perspective provides much better clarity to the best real-world solutions or feature improvements, and
why.
Conversely, I've said many times over the years that Speeduino does not require lots of functions, but to be most successful it should do what it does really well. This highlights some areas that need notable improvement, and I'm happy to see the intermittent corrections or changes
but some of it needs more attention for Speeduino to hit next-level. Popularity is based on perceived value, value is based on successful outcomes, and outcomes are based on clear and effective function. Speeduino is quite popular based on cost, but next-level needs a full system-wide functional review to reach next-level. Through the forums and users, we have accumulated the knowledge and data for developers to get there!
