I chose motorcycle superchargers and turbochargers as a research project for small aircraft engines as my topic. This is about the only book I know of that compares each type for its efficientcy and application. Manufacturer addresses and phone numbers are included which was most valuable to me.

I bought the book to do a paper on nitrous oxide racing in motorcycles. The nitrous chapter was very small and seemed to refer to one company too much. The other two chapters were much better. Why did the author not cover nitrous and turbos or superchargers?

Just echoing the other reviews. The subject coverage is great, the information is almost all applicable to more than just motorcycles, and the directory of contacts is invaluable.

There is lots of good theory and guidance. The subject matter while aimed at motorcycles is applicable to any two or four stroke engine. From Ram tuning basics to turbocharger selection, the tools used to help determine are easy to understand and use. A lot easier than going back through my old rodding mags. Perfect for those looking to get the most from engines without a lot of direct aftermarket support.

when you think turbocharging a bike is going to be easy,read this book,its not as easy as you might think,but clear step by step guide make it more a reality then a dream.

Great paperback. Good info ,but is dated.

I would recommend it.

Need more updated versions of this type of literature.

I followed Joe Haile's advice but the vendors he recommended to me took my money and after many years of holding (and misusing) my motorcycle and money they did not deliver the goods and services they promised. I had to sue the listed vendors Luftmeister, RB Racing, Matt Capri, & Bob Behn for fraud and it cost me thousands of dollars and my motorcycle does not run right after many years of their supposed help. I bought this book and called Joe Haile many times and his advice cost me thousands of dollars of pain.
