Excellent how-to book for this specific engine. Much can be applied to other engines. Detail comparison graphs on how various changes affect engine performance made with authors own engines and dynamometer results. Lots of valuable theory to explain the data.

A great book for doing what you want to the A series motor, from a simple tune to a full on race tune to forced induction. Well worth it.

Very interesting book. I now understand how to modify my Mini A-series+ engine and have so far installed a stage-1 kit.
