If you failed to answer any of the above questions, chances are you could benefit from having Back Pocket Dyno Drag Race Edition in your back pocket....... Not only do the authors provide the formulas for calculations, but in many cases, they also take away the math work with an accompanying chart of common applications. Detailed examples are also helpful.....
Page after page of charts and formulas, with some handy blank pages for your scribblings, make Back Pocket Dyno, Drag Race Edition a worthwhile addition to your toolbox." -- National Dragster, March 1999, Issue 10, Book Review

Back Pocket Dyno,
By John Struzik (Lakeside, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Back Pocket Dyno (Paperback)
This is an excellent resource. Nowhere else have I been able to find just the information I want; printed in logical order. I'm building a web site about my truck, and the BPD is my bible for determining just the right gear combinations to maximize my performance with the Gear Vendors gearsplitter I've installed. I don't have a lot of money for R&D, and this book has given me just the right info I need. Thank you!

Throw away thosen stacks of hot rod you've been saving,
By A Customer
This review is from: Back Pocket Dyno (Paperback)
I am an enthusiast and I love the car crafting hobby. For years I have been saving all of my back issues of various magazines for formulas, tips, and tricks used in building many of my cars. After purchasing this book I was able to get rid of them. It is one of the most informative pieces of literature I have ever seen. Forget those pamphlets that tell you to buy a bunch of bolt-ons, this is real world horsepower.
