Well . . . I would guess that you are not a computer programmer . . . but rather a high performance engine enthusiast or motorsports engineer. And you have an insatiable thirst for knowledge about how internal combustion engines operate and what parts and features are important to make lots of power and torque.
Hopefully you also have some knowledge about mathematics and can handle a scientific calculator well, or even use a spreadsheet computer program like Microsoft Excel. In any case, welcome to ENGINE Pro - The Book.
This is really a book about the development of the ENGINE Pro software . . . the how, why, what, where and when. It's a story that is seldom told in this format, full of text and equations, with all the secrets and miss-steps along the way exposed for all to see . . . even by my competitors in the high performance engine performance software business
