Perfect for enthusiasts and professional builders, this book bridges theory and practice to help you design engines that maximize power and durability across all motorsport and street applications. ## Description All the parts within any engine are designed and engineered using the appropriate mathematics to function efficiently and be durable. When discussing high-performance automotive engines, a specific set of math formulas are used to develop and design powerplants to make more power at higher rpm levels and still survive. The various forms of motorsport and street use all have different requirements, but the math used to design engines to be competitive does not change, regardless of the specific discipline. Multi-time author and well-regarded performance engine builder/designer John Baechtel has assembled the relevant mathematics and packaged it all together in a book designed for automotive enthusiasts. This book walks readers through the complete engine, showcasing the methodology required to define each specific parameter, and how to translate the engineering math to the hard measurements reflected in various engine parts. Designing the engine to work as a system of related components is no small task, but the ease with which Baechtel escorts the reader through the process makes this book perfect for both the budding engine enthusiast and the professional builder. Author Baechtel's experience and writing capabilities shine in Performance Automotive Engine Math , and this book will surely be a strong addition to any high-performance library. Review: Good solid engine fundamentals book. - Quickly and easily explains the formulas for calculating many engine functions and dimensions. Not hard to understand at all if you have basic algebra and geometry math skills but if you don't understand those skills, you probably shouldn't be putting an engine together until you learn Good book Review: Very informative and engaging - The format of practice problems and examples as well as the in depth explanations for each concept and formula are perfectly done and very easy to follow. It kept my attention frome the first page to the glossary. Many little tips and tricks for each operation as well as general advice and suggestions. I might buy a physical copy at some point. ## Features - Author: John Baechtel - Pages: 160 - Photos: 175 - Binding: Softbound ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #401,940 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #159 in Vehicle Owner's Manuals & Maintenance Guides #180 in Automotive Engine Mechanics | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 444 Reviews | ## Images ![Performance Automotive Engine Math (Sa Design-Pro) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KMnslwgtL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good solid engine fundamentals book. *by S***1 on January 3, 2021* Quickly and easily explains the formulas for calculating many engine functions and dimensions.
