How to Build Max-Performance
Hemi Engines
Livre / Workshop en anglais de Richard Nedbal
How to Build Max-Performance Hemi Engines details how to extract even more horsepower out of these incredible engines.
All the block options from street versus race, new versus old, and iron versus aluminum are presented.
Full detailed coverage on the reciprocating assembly is also included. Heads play an essential role in flowing fuel and producing maximum horsepower, and therefore receive special treatment.
The book also examines in detail how to install and set up power adders such as nitrous oxide, superchargers, and turbochargers.
