This book needs tuning,
By Miller (Central, Kansas) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How To Power Tune Mini (Speedpro) (Paperback)
I would not recommend this book for "power tuning" tips. The book does a better job of explaining how the stock Mini components work. If you already know about Minis or have other books on Minis then you probably do not need this one. I was looking for such information as which brakes are best for my application, or which carb is best for performance and which is best for fuel economy. The book does tell a little bit about this kind of info, just not to the extent I was looking for. It did tell a bit about what is the best exhaust system to use, so that made me happy. I would suggest not paying too much for the book. Remember, this is just my opinion. You may be looking for different info than I. Thanks.
