Outstanding book for tuning todays engines,
By A Customer
This review is from: Modern Engine Tuning (Hardcover)
This book is essential to anyone wanting to tune a newer engine with electronics. Covers basics of cams, cylinder heads, valves, etc, then goes on to give good starting points for your application. Mainly written from the street performance / economy viewpoint, but there is info in here for ralyy, etc. also. Highly reccomended!

This review is from: Modern Engine Tuning (Hardcover)
I have read a few books on fundamentals of cars and todays engines, but none covered so much about performance/economy engines. Everything is explained in plain language, and the content are extremely iformative. It became my favorite book from the very first day.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good book, but not gospel,
By A Customer
This review is from: Modern Engine Tuning (Hardcover)
While there is a lot of good info in this book, I think the author is somewhat liberal in what he considers "fact". While it's an easy read and well presented, I wouldn't take everything for complete truth.
