This highly practical and useful book covers brilliant techniques
that take 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. It's like having a huge flow-bench
always available. By making some simple on-road measurements, you
can plot the shape of the engine's power and torque curves - no
dyno needed. 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. 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. Want to make a rear wing work
well? Test the angle at which downforce is greatest. You can also
test the aerodynamic airflow through oil coolers, intercoolers and
radiators. Interested in improving your suspension? By using a
low-cost app and a smartphone, you can accurately measure
suspension behaviour. If you want a practical, hands-on book that
will immediately save you money, show where modifications are most
needed, and can be used to assess performance outcomes, this is the
book for you.
