Good technical reading?

So i have been reading Designing and Tuning high performance fuel injections systems by Greg Banish. However i can't get my hands on enough. Could someone point me to some other books about cars? I don't really care if its about ecu tuning or if its about suspension geometry. I just want MORE!

I would shy away from 'Paradigms of Turbocharged Motor Theory' by the aforementioned Dr. Bell.

 

Some of the information is good, but like anything it was dated the day it was printed and it's gotten worse since I read it when it first came out. The divergence of his theories on it, and what just about everybody else in the world are striking.

 

Though he made one hell of a nice bypass valve, please keep in mind his book was written from what I can see, to sell his parts offerings. :(

I figured I'd rather borrow this thread than start a new one.

 

I just bought a few "how to" -books so I have some sources for trying to find out answers to the problems that I will most certainly run in to with my Z.

 

Are there any other good Z-books that might be worth looking in to?

I highly recommend all of the Carol Smith books 

Engineer to win

Tune to Win

Nuts, Bolts, and Fasteners

https://www.amazon.com/Carroll-Smith/e/B001H6MCS4/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1

 

Also chassis engineering:

 

https://www.amazon.com/Chassis-Engineering-Building-Performance-Handling/dp/1557880557/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1472687573&sr=1-1&keywords=chassis+engineering

 

 

They are all a little dated but have tons of timeless information in them.

I second Carol Smith books. I've only read engineer to win.

 

I would also suggest Maximum boost by Corky Bell if you have not had any experience with turbo charges systems.
