KiD-ViD Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 which ones do you guys suggest? I just finnished Corky Bell's "Maximum Boost" and loved it so I'm looking to expand my knowledge a bit more. I would like to find one that explains all componants, how they work, and how it affects the handling. I have seen 2 books that seem good but I don't really remember what each one contained. "How to make your car handle" and "Performance Handling/How to Make Your Car Handle, Techniques for the 1990s". Anyone know anything about these two books or have any other suggestions on this topic? thanks alot guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 Carroll Smith's "...To Win" series. If you only buy one of these, buy "Tune to Win." http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0879380713/104-9431438-3196753 The ultimate bible is "Race Car Vehicle Dynamics" by the Millkens: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1560915269/qid%3D1062956448/104-9431438-3196753 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiD-ViD Posted September 7, 2003 Author Share Posted September 7, 2003 wow thanks alot. "Race Car Vehicle Dynamics" seems a bit much for me ($100 and almost 1000 pages) but the other book does seem promising. has anyone read the books I mentioned or have any other suggestions?

ZROSSA Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 Fred Phun's (sp) book was a good read. It was the first book I bougt on handeling, many years ago. I havent read the other one. Carol smiths book were also really good. Read Puhn's one first though. Douglas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drax240z Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 I own all of the above and recommend milliken... though the other two are a bit less serious of a time investment and are also quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
