[DeskTop Dynos Mini Guide]Overview: The DeskTop Dynos Mini-Guide will help you understand the latest ideas in performance engine technology and ensure that you to get the most from your simulation software investment. Contains 112 pages packed with tips on menu selections, in-depth information on performance engine building, valuable insight into cam timing technology, general racing-engine design tech, and much more!

The Mini-Guide will help you understand many of the technical concepts used by simulation programmers. Find out about pumping work and how you can minimize this power robber in your next engine project. Explore how stroke affects power and why so many people incorrectly believe that a longer stroke forces the engine to produce its torque peak at lower engine speeds. And discover why many common cam specifications are more advertising "hype" than useful data about camshaft operation.

A quick flip through this guidebook will convince you that it belongs in your performance library.
