Default "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 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.
