At this point, Tune To Win by Carrol Smith.
EXCELLENT book, and since I don't have the Milliken book, I think Tune To Win is the only book worth bothering with. I used to recommend Fred Puhn's How To Make Your Car Handle, but all the info it has, and so much more is in Tune To Win. The Herb Adams book is useless IMO. Check out StreetModified.org for more info on usefull books. Keep in mind though the site owner IS an engineer, so some of the stuff may be pretty involved. Not sure. |
