One answer lies in the math used to develop the best-possible performing powerplants for racing use. When engineered for maximum effectiveness and durability at high power levels and extreme RPM, performance engines of all types need to be built as a complete system. The sizes, clearances, and capabilities of these intricate machines are not chosen by chance, but rather through the use of proven formulas.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this book you'll find these formulas and the logic behind them. Everything from figuring out the engine's true displacement and compression ratio to determining the best-possible port size and camshaft dimensions are included. Whether you're a seasoned professional or a curious amateur, Performance Automotive Engine Math is a valuable learning guide and reference tool. Determining the best way to achieve high volumetric efficiency is the goal of all performance enthusiasts, and this book shows you exactly how to accomplish this, by the numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eJohn Baechtel is a former editor of Car Craft and Hot Rod magazines and was the founding partner of the Westech Performance Group engine dyno testing facility. He is also a member of the Bonneville 200 MPH club, holding both SCTA and FIA International speed records. He drove the first production-based Mustang Cobra past the 200-mph mark in 1993 and was the driving force behind the restoration of the Summers Brothers Land Speed Record car for The Henry Ford museum. With more than 35 years of high-performance engine and vehicle testing under his belt, he is still passionate about engines and high-performance technology. He currently serves as a technical consultant to several performance aftermarket companies while pursuing his interest in land speed racing and grooming his extensive collection of land speed record model cars and memorabilia.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eBook Details:\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher Code:\u003c\/strong\u003e CT-SA204\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eISBN 13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781934709474\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e John Baechtel\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2011\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePages: 160\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDimension:\u003c\/strong\u003e 215x280mm\u003cbr\u003e Soft Cover, colour illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cartech Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47628023365852,"sku":"9781934709474","price":61.15,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/8297\/3404\/files\/apixy0tta__25737.1642581486.1280.1280.jpg?v=1772090809","url":"https:\/\/automotobookshop.com.au\/products\/performance-automotive-engine-math","provider":"Automoto Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
