Summary: Quick Reference for automotive formulas
Review: One of the primary resources for creating my online gearcalculators. Besides the gear formulas I use, here are some others...* Determine Displacement/Bore and Stroke * Determine Compression Ratio * Determine Carburetor CFM requirements * Calculating Horsepower and Torque * Weight Displacement * Weight Transfer * Determine Center of Gravity and more... This book does not overwhelm you with complex formulas. It keeps them simple. This a must have for the do-it-yourselfer automotive shelf.

Summary: A very usefull book to a car nut, and very easy to work with
Review: The book has a lot of equations for figuring out the stats on your car, it's missing one star, because it is missing a few that cam be nessesary.

Summary: Good basic information
Review: The book in question can really help you prior to setting up your car. It takes most of the "hit or miss" guesswork out of street modifications. This is a must for any seroius street racer's library.

Summary: Basic formulas for novice enthusiasts
Review: This book is not for experts. It lack in-depth attitude. Rather, this book turned to be novice oriented. Formulas are basic and there are no graphs. I liked detailed conversion table to metric units.

Summary: A gold mine for smart racers!
Review: This book shows you how to use math to make your car perform better on a road course, the strip or the street. I learned how to see engines, torque curves, gearing etc. in an entirely different way. I can make changes with confidence that I am going in the right direction. If you can work a calculator, you can use this book!

Summary: Just Fantastic
Review: 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.

Summary: Excellent reference tool
Review: This is the book for all of us Gearheads who fell asleep during our math classes wondering the relevance of the mathematics to the machine of our choice. After a brief introduction, Mr. Lawlor goes right into relevant formulae for determining everything from horsepower to how larger or smaller tires affect your acceleration and fuel economy. All of the math is presented in a very accessible manner and suddenly a formula is no longer a fearsome beast to inspire terror, but a useful tool to help you extract more efficiency from your auto, doesn't matter if it's a fire breathing pro- street Chevelle or a corner taming Alfa. In addition to demystfying mathematics, the book contains many useful conversions and tables. A must-have for any Gearhead or Garage Engineer.
