Optimising Car Performance Modifications - - Simple methods of measuring engine, suspension, brakes and aerodynamic performance gains Edgar JulianPaperback / softback

Optimising Car Performance Modifications is a highly practical and useful book that covers brilliant techniques to the guesswork out of performance modification.Using just some low-cost tools, you can easily measure the flow restriction of your car's intake and exhaust. By making some simple on-road measurements, you can plot the shape of the engine's power and torque curves - no dyno needed. It's like having a huge flow-bench always available.

Assess the worth of cams, a larger turbo, changed boost control or altered engine management mapping.But the book doesn't stop there - it also shows you how to measure your car's aerodynamics, seeing if at speed your car is developing lift or downforce. This allows you to not only see if performance modifications to the engine are improving power, but also see where in the rev range those changes are occurring. Want to make a
