Airflow performance boost pump11/21/2023 Then weget into cylinder heads and that where this book really shines. There’s an entire chapter devoted just to the intake manifold’splan and characteristics and what you can do to modify these to make them work better. There is also asection coving torque peak RPM. The parts that I thought were especially interesting were the engineairflow components, like carburetors, throttle bodies, and how to do wave tuning. We start with some really great explanations of the airflow basics and then we get into theprevalent properties of air which is really pretty technical but the way it’s laid out it’s notthat difficult to understand. I like theway this book is laid out because if follows in a rational order and it has lots of photos anddrawings and is very easy to understand which is good because this is a very difficult subject tograsp. It is an in-depth book that covers performance theory and applications, how tointerpret data once you have it, flow bench testing, and optimizing intake and heads. Practical Engine Airflow by John Baechtel, is a Pro Series S A design book that is extremelywell-written. I am looking forward to being able to better take part in conversations with my increased understanding. I plan to buy other books in this series and read them more than once.I also had better educated (than me) mechanics look at this book and all were impressed.They said to bring other books by this author to the shop.If you have a child interested in engines or autosports or someone of any age who can appreciate understanding more about the language and fundamental operations of engine efficiency, you need a copy of this book and I am betting others in the series. I believe that I learned more, understood more, in this book than those previous experiences and explanations. Straightforward and complete.I spent a good number of hours during high school hanging around garages.I have spent weekends with friends up close and personal at the racetrack.I even took a "nontraditional careers" weekend preview course for female auto mechanics at a local trade college. From the easy to view size and generous number of well defined, precise photographs, to the clear instructions which did not make me feel like they were "dumbed down" for me. Can not say enough wonderful things about this book.
