Pros:
|
Excellent Read! Covers many, many aspects of building and tuning a forced induction car.
|
|
Cons:
|
Covers turbos too, but that's not so bad. A bit pricey
|
|
While a bit more expensive than Corky's book Supercharged!, I found this to be more detailed in every aspect but estimating combustion chamber temps with regard to detonation. But other than that one point, this is an excellent book, written by someone with obvious experience in building, tuning and modifying forced induction cars. One excellent feature is that it reveiws getting power out of several turbo cars (like Subies) and talks specifically about the compramises in thier design.
I highly reccomend it to anyone who wants to understand the hows and whys of getting more out of cars like ours....
