It is pretty heavy on the math part in places.. To be really effective with
this material you need a copy of Mathcad as well. That is if you want the
answer in this lifetime LOL.. The nice part about Mathcad is you can easily
get a graph over a range of values with complex functions.

You might want to take a look at the SAE website they have tons of this
stuff in the motorsports section.
Best of all if you order a book and it is not what you expected they will
generally just take it back less freight and give you a credit for it.

Taylors book is good as well though the concept of high engine speeds may be
a little different now. SAE usually has the most current stuff.
