3.0 out of 5 stars
Quick Reference for automotive formulas,
By
This review is from: Auto Math Handbook HP (Paperback)
One of the primary resources for creating my online gearcalculators. Besides the gear formulas I use, here are some others...* Determine Displacement/Bore and Stroke * Determine Compression Ratio * Determine Carburetor CFM requirements * Calculating Horsepower and Torque * Weight Displacement * Weight Transfer * Determine Center of Gravity and more... This book does not overwhelm you with complex formulas. It keeps them simple. This a must have for the do-it-yourselfer automotive shelf.

Interesting for the math-challenged, but needs revision,

This review is from: Auto Math Handbook HP (Paperback)
As soon as I got this book it grabbed me: it even has the history of the word, "horsepower!" There are many useful formulas here, all presented clearly and in layman's language. However, some of the material is dated; there are several pages devoted to programming your computer to figure out the answers to the formulas, and the author says that he has included a section to help in adapting the program to a computing favorite, the Commodore 64! Hmmm, I wonder if my old one still works? That he even mentions this computer is odd, considering that the book was published in '93!But overall, I like most of the book, and I'm sure it will come it useful as I rebuild my LT1 engine...

Excellent, Useful Book,
By jsflagstad@aol.com (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Auto Math Handbook HP (Paperback)
I was introduced to this book in college while completing my Bachelors Degree in Automotive Engineering. It is jam packed with useful formulas and equations useful to the engine builder or just the theoretical minded person who enjoys crunching numbers. I am now ordering my second copy today as my other one has been well used and has gotten a bit tattered and its time to retire it.
