How to Tune and Modify Automotive Engine Management Systems : Upgrade Your Engine to Increase Horsepower

Understanding fuel injection and engine management systems is the key to extracting higher performance from today's cars in a safe, reliable, and driveable fashion. Engine control expert Jeff Hartman covers everything from basic fuel injection to the latest engine management technology. Turbochargers, superchargers, nitrous oxide, high compression ratios, radical camshafts: all are known to make horsepower, but without proper understanding and control of fuel injection and other electronic engine management systems, these popular power-adders will never live up to their potential and, at worst, can cause expensive engine damage. Drawing on a wealth of knowledge and experience and a background of more than 1,000 magazine articles on the subject, engine-control expert Jeff Hartman covers everything from the basics to the latest developments in fuel-injection and engine management technology applied by both American and international manufacturers, including popular aftermarket systems. No other book in the market covers the subject of engine management systems from as many angles and as comprehensively as this book.
