5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent technical with practical, precise instruction,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Power Tune Alfa Romeo Twin-Cam Engines for Road & Track (Speedpro Series) (Paperback)
I found the book an excellent source of practical information. Step-by-step instructions follow every move to rebuilding a powerful and reliable Alfa Romeo engine. There are also many hints on other topics such as handling, turbocharging and brakes.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good book for power tuning, useless for the less ambitious.,
By A.N.A. Bosschaert (Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Power Tune Alfa Romeo Twin-Cam Engines for Road & Track (Speedpro Series) (Paperback)
The book explains quite a lot, but there are some areas in which the book seriously lacks. For instance it fails to identify the differences in the cylinderhead that comes from a cable or piston driven gas pedal, and it actually suggests buying a whole new engine so it is exactly like the one in the book, so you can tune it. Might be good for the cash-loaded reader, but not for the price-aware tuner.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good detail, but weak theory,
By Jon McKibben (Santa Ana, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Power Tune Alfa Romeo Twin-Cam Engines for Road & Track (Speedpro Series) (Paperback)
There is a lot of useful information in this book, mainly in details of engine buildup. I built an Alfa engine, and found useful tips and reminders about Alfa pecularities. But the author's comments regarding four-valve vs. two-valve engines are wrong, his theory is flawed, and there are some omissions that would have been helpful. There are no pipe diameters given, and some missing lengths on exhaust systems, for example. But the information in the book is worth the reasonable purchase cost. The binding is a bit shaky - some pages are loose in mine after little use.
