If you think you need this book, you do!

It's a veritable bible for anyone trying to scrape even just a couple of horsepower out of an A-Series.My 33 year old 1275 motor can now do things the factory never intended, it's excellent!Any A-Series owner needs this book.

Tuning the A-Series engine

David's book answered every question as it came into my mind as i read his book. The writing is A+++ with plenty of details no "fluff". If you want to know about A-series engines buy this book.

Current viewpoints

Information is reasonably current. Many on this subject contain only the info from "the-day". Vizard knows of what he speaks. Real dyno info, real race experience. Applies to later BMC B just as well. Quite different views on head porting than Burgess.
