"Maximum Boost"
 

I have always wondered how many of you guys have read "Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell? I have had this since I first wanted to turbo my car, and as the setup pieces together, I read it more and more.

i just bought and read it recently. it is a really great book with tons of info in it but im probably gonna have to read it again just to understand everything.

I own maybe a third of those... it's the total list of books/literature that are applicable (and worthwhile) to forced induction tuning and theory condensed from the jyturbo@yahoogroups.com list. For a bunch of V8 loving rednecks, two of them are actually quite bright :P

Re:"Maximum Boost"
 

one of my fave books. I also have chassis engineering by Herb Adams, and Nitrous Oxide by Joe Pettit.

Re:"Maximum Boost"
 

i have had that book for a few years now and i always go to it when i doubt or question something. Only if something really bogs me down i come here and ask. I also got 2 books on mechanical math ,books on downforce areodynamics and a whole bunch more.

Re:"Maximum Boost"
 

Math sucks. I like cars.

Re:"Maximum Boost"
 

No Math = No Car.
No Math = No turbo.

I luv math..one of the only subjects I was good at in school....and still ;D
hehehehe
