For Gearheads Only
It is in this place that we can have some real fun. The fun that only Gearheads can have and understand! The term "Gearhead" is one that well describes the inquisitive nature of our tribe.
 "All young monkeys are inquisitive, but the intensity of their curiosity tends to fade as they become adult. With us, the infantile inquisitiveness is strengthened and stretched into our mature years. We never stop investigating. We are never satisfied that we know enough to get by. Every question we answer leads on to another question. This has been the greatest survival trick of our species." - The Naked Ape by Desmond Morris.
Updated NEWS.... Update April 8, 2008....We are told by the publishers is that the book has arrived from the printer and is on shelves ready to buy. We have had very good responses from the marketplace that is anxious to get the book in their hands. There were some folks that didn't want this book written....but I guess they are out of luck on this one! The first orders for purchases of the book were from teachers that want to use the book as a textbook and support for their classes in engines and testing. I want to hear from you if you are having a difficult time in purchasing the book so that we can get you to either the publisher (CarTech Books) or a dealer near you.
Coming soon to book shelves near you is a book that should be of interest to gearheads and others. The title is "Dyno Testing And Tuning" by Harold Bettes and Bill Hancock. It will be very useful as a handy reference concerning dynamometers and tuning on them. The book covers all types of dynamometers whether for engine or chassis applications. The cover is pictured below. This one might shake some folks up a bit as the book dispels many old wive's tales and does a good job of separating the BS from the true life adventure that is dyno testing in the real world.
 At long last, it is finally here. We hope that you can get one easily. You can also order directly from www.cartechbooks.com

| In the Oil Patch, it is all about power vs time and fuel utilization. Sort of sounds like racing descriptions. |
