"Gasoline Properties" "Mixture Turbulence" "BMEP"
"Flame Travel" "Flame Propagation" "14.7" "Internal Combustion"
I used to have book by David Vizzard that was excellent ,
you could try asking for his books in a book store , also
"Smokys Power Secrets" or any of the books by "SA-Design" .
This is a STEEP learning curve if your completely green ,
you'll have to do
alot of reading .
Then once you get the technical knowledge down , you get to
find out how it works in the real world , not to mention learning
how to automatically figure "Fudge Factors" in your head and all
of the various interactions going on .
By the way Ignition Timing is also very important , especially
when it comes to gas mileage and driveability .
Good Luck
