Summary: Left a lot to be desired...
Comment: Good basic information, but I do have a few gripes about this title: -The levels of information were inconsistent. Sometimes a chapter would be filled with useful information about weight transfer, horsepower and torque conversions, or figuring out how shift points based on gear ratios. But as I near the end I get to miles per gallon and BAC (which really had no place in a book like this) The last few chapters felt like filler. -Some of the equations are slightly misprinted in a few spots. I was able to spot these mistakes because I am fimiliar with working with these sorts of formulas. A more novice reader may encounter problems. -Some complex concepts aren't explained well enough. In the chapter that explains how to figure horsepower and torque from an engines basic charactics, it refers to MEP. It explains what the MEP is, but then goes on to tell you there's no real way to find out what the MEP is on a specific engine. So you're stuck guessing... Overall I would say some good information, good concept, but it really needs major revisions and a 2nd edition

Summary: Its ok
Comment: Its nice cause it has alot of formula's, but it lacks the ones I was really after so for me it was a bit of a waste, nevertheless I can see it being usefull and its cheap so its a worthwhile investment.
Rating: 5
Summary: Just Fantastic
Comment: This is a great reference book for the automobile enthusiast and performance tuner. All of the calculations are grouped into logical sections and explained well. I only wish that it came with a CD or diskette with all of the equations in a spreadsheet format. This is a keeper.
