In Engine Management Advanced Tuning, Author Greg Banish explains the basics of engine operation to reinforce what is really going on under the hood. From there you will learn the ins and outs of modern electronic fuel injection systems and ultimately some specifics of calibration methods and horsepower production. The focus of this book is gasoline engines; however, many of the concepts can carry over to other applications.
