I thought this book was loaded with useless information. Its mostly General engineering formulas and not necessarily and directly honda related. Lots of suspension, aerodynamics and brakes formulas which in street /strip car is pretty useless. There were no turbo or supercharged engine build up coverage (just nitrous). No parts were tested or dynoed like in volume 1. no drivetrain or transmissin issues were issued (considering one of honda's weak links are drivetrain). No stand-alone engine management solutions either. I learned some new stuff but not about honda's.

After waiting nearly 4 months to receive this book,it was a big disapointment.I expected to read all the best kept secrect to Honda engine building.I have learned more reading magazine articles than this book.A lot of theory and formulas.I want to know what parts work best like all the v8 books out there.This book just did not deliver .I would save the money spent on this book and get a subscription to Turbo magazine.

This book has interesting information on the theory of car suspension, tyres, aerodynamics, etc. There are also certain sections which are Honda-specific. Useful tables for fuel and other important information are included. Good for reference.
