Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This text includes recent developments in four-stroke technology. It outlines simple and inexpensive tuning modifications for road and occasional club competition engines, with an emphasis on economy and useable street power. This text also describes how modern engines can be modified for performance with cam, exhaust and carburation changes - and still pass emission inspections, and it explains how electronic controls and emission controls work. Graham Bell has also written "Two-Stroke Performance Tuning" and "Four-Stroke Performance Tuning".

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding book for tuning todays engines, November 19, 1998

By A Customer

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the greatest engine tunning book ever written., January 6, 1999

By	Hassan (palisades park, nj USA) - See all my reviews

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, August 22, 2002

By A Customer

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.

Certainly covered all the basics of combustion engines and introduced some key formulas to remember. It's a little European car centered, but engine basics are the same. Read more
