In the book: High-Performance Cams & Valvetrains: Theory, Technology, and Selection, Billy Godbold, farm kid-turned-physicist, combines his quarter-century of experience with valvetrains at Comp Cams, Lunati, Crane Cams, and Edelbrock. He also provides insight on the techniques he uses with professional teams in NASCAR, NHRA, road racing, dirt track racing, offshore racing, and land speed racing, guiding you to think about any valvetrain system with his perspective. Often lighthearted and filled with analogies, this book endeavors to make complex concepts easy to understand without ever watering down important details. Specific configurations and applications are also covered, providing techniques and examples for optimizing camshafts and the valvetrain around intakes, headers, superchargers, turbochargers, carburetors, fuels, and modern EFI applications. If you are planning or building a classic hot rod, modern performance LS, Hemi, Coyote, or Godzilla, or competition engine for road racing, circle track, or drag racing, practical details show you how any valvetrain system should be modified to extract the most from every component and help you achieve your unique goals.

In the simplest terms, an engine is an air pump. Whether you're a professional engine builder or a serious amateur, you must understand engine airflow dynamics and need to apply these principles if you want to optimize performance. In SA Design Practical Engine Airflow, author John Baechtel explains airflow dynamics through an engine in layman's terms so you can easily absorb and apply it. The principles of airflow are explained; specifically, the physics of air and how it flows through major engine components, including the intake, heads, cylinders, and exhaust system. The author explains atmospheric pressure, air density, and brake specific fuel consumption so you understand the properties of fuel for tuning. Baechtel covers the primary factors for optimizing the airflow path. This includes: the fundamentals of air motion; air velocity and boundary layers; obstructions; and pressure changes. Flowing air through the heads and the combustion chamber is comprehensively explained. Also carefully explored is the exhaust system's airflow, in particular primary tube size and length, collector function, and scavenging. Chapters also discuss flow bench testing, evaluating flow numbers, and using airflow software. If you want to achieve ultimate engine performance, you need this book.

Chrysler has built more than one million Chargers, Challengers, and other full-size-platform cars, starting with the Dodge Magnum and Chrysler 300. These cars offer competent handling, braking, and suspension performance, but they can be made much better through a set of targeted upgrades using better aftermarket equipment. Bolig gives you a comprehensive guide to the cars and engines. He details the features, benefits, and drawbacks of each package or set of upgrades, so you select the best modification for your car, application, and budget. He also covers basic to extreme modifications for the R/T and SRT8 models with the 5.7-, 6.1-, and 6.4-liter Hemi engines. Guidance for installing heads, rotating assemblies, ignition upgrades, higher-performance injectors, and many other parts are provided. But this book doesn't just discuss performance; it shows you how to do it with comprehensive, step-by-step product installs for a cat-back exhaust system, hand-held ignition tuner, cold-air intake, and supercharger. If you've been searching for the best performance package to make your Charger, Challenger, or full-size Chrysler car stand out from the crowd, you need this 176-paperback with over 400 photos. It has the latest information, so you can learn how to install all the products and get your car back out on the road.
