5.0 out of 5 stars
Just Fantastic,

This review is from: Auto Math Handbook HP1020 (Paperback)
This is a great reference book for the automobile enthusiast and performance tuner. All of the calculations are grouped into logical sections and explained well. I only wish that it came with a CD or diskette with all of the equations in a spreadsheet format. This is a keeper.

Everything it claims to be!,

This review is from: Auto Math Handbook HP1020 (Paperback)
I was happy with the book. It was represented to give calculations, formulas, etc. in an easy to understand format for the auto enthusiast. It did exactly that. I was interested in calculating my compression ratio after milling my block and heads and using new (semi-flat top) pistons. The book conveyed this information effectively. As for the review that complained about not being able to calculate MEP, I had no problem understanding the authors point. MEP is not something you calculate, its something you measure. It is measured with a tool called an indicator. Again, I think the book is exactly as advertised. For "enthusiasts" not professors, engineers or automotive professionals, (although I know a couple professionals that enjoyed the book). As for the "filler" type material at the end of the book, some people may genuinely be interested or may actually need the information. There are many people out there with little or no knowledge about such things.I was very happy with the book, and am looking forward to a sequel.

A must have?,
By FNK (Victoriaville, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Auto Math Handbook HP1020 (Paperback)
This book was very informative and technical, yet you dont need a master degree to understand it. I only wish they would make a revision of this book as the technology and metallurgic knowledge since 1985 improved tremendously. Basic Aerodynamics is a must for the next decade and it absent from this handbook. Overall, quite pleased.
