DeskTop Dynos - Using Computers To Build And Test Engines (Book Only)

Author: Larry Atherton, Softbound, 126 Pages, CT-SA51, ISBN: 9781884089237, 1st Edition, 1996 - *WITHOUT SOFTWARE*

This is a true "hot rodders" engine guide. This book will reveal more to you about high-performance and racing engines than you've discovered in all other enthusiast books and magazines combined!

Typical engine books describe what components and procedures are known to increase power in specific applications. This "outside-in" approach is the direct result of trial-and-error testing, still the most common method of engine development used today. This book follows a new path. It describes engine function from the "inside-out." You won't find lists of parts that work on only a few engines, rather you'll discover WHY engines "need" specific parts and tuning techniques to optimize power.

These pages present a balance of theory and practical application. As you journey through the development of engines, dynos, and simulation techniques, you will follow a path that has, until now, been obscured by ponderous technical works. This book, for the first time, clarifies and distills the facts to give you a deeper understanding of the internal-combustion engine for street, high-performance, or racing applications.
