Product Description
So you ve decided that fuel injection is for you, but want to know more. Many questions surround what appears to many as more of a black art than science. Engine tuning used to be the hallowed ground of vehicle engineers and cutting-edge hot rodders. For years, the carburetor filled the needs of enthusiasts and provided simple adjustments at the end of a flat-bladed screwdriver. But today, electronic controls for engines are the norm. Even the casual enthusiast who actually drives his favorite hot rod on the streets can easily see the benefit of increased precision when he fires the car up for the first time each spring. A properly tuned EFI system rarely needs anything more than the turn of the key to come to life.
Following up his best-selling title, Engine Management: Advanced Tuning, author Greg Banish goes in-depth on the combustion basics of fuel injection as well as benefits and limitations of standalone. Designing and Tuning High-Performance Fuel Injection Systems will help you learn useful formulas, VE equation and airflow estimation, and more. It also covers setups and calibration, creating VE tables, creating timing maps, auxiliary output controls, and start to finish calibration examples with screen shots to document the process. Useful appendixes include a glossary and a special resource guide with standalone manufacturers and test equipment manufacturers.
Aftermarket standalone systems are a great way to dial in performance and reliability. Designing and Tuning High-Performance Fuel-Injection Systems is the book you need to become an expert in this popular modification.

Greg is an OEM calibrator who actually went to college for this stuff. He's worked at Ford and GM, in the tuning department. He's had his own tuning shop. He teaches tuning. He teaches SCT's Advanced Tuning class. This is his second book. I've read them both, and attended his SCT class. I can guarantee that they don't come any sharper than him, when it comes to tuning.
As an added bonus, he seems to know how to write in way that's easy to understand, no matter what your experience level. I've read lots of other tuning books, been to EFI University and read Ben Straders book as well, and in my opinion none of them are near as good as this book. So go buy it.
This book covers speed density computers more specifically, such as FAST, Big Stuff, Accel, etc. But the details in it still apply to all tuning. His other book, Engine Management: Advanced Tuning covers the Mass Air cars (most OEM EFI systems) a little more closely. Either way, if you're trying to learn to tune, or want to know more about how EFI works, buy both books. Unfortunately, I can't say very good things about any of the other tuning books I've read. Most are poorly written, way to short and simple, or just don't help much.
