Understanding Piston Speed in High-Performance Engines (Fast Engine Math for Street and Race Applications)

"When discussing high-performance automotive engines, a specific set of math formulas are used to develop and design power plants to make more power at higher rpm levels and still survive.

This Guide Covers: Understanding Piston Speed in High-Performance Engines

This includes in-depth explanations, specific how-to step-by-step instructions, and detailed high quality images.

All the parts within any engine are designed and engineered using the appropriate mathematics to function efficiently and be durable. The various forms of motorsport and street use all have different requirements, but the math used to design engines to be competitive does not change, regardless of the specific discipline.

Multi-time author and well-regarded performance engine builder/designer John Baechtel has assembled the relevant mathematics and packaged it all together in a series of our different guides designed for automotive enthusiasts. These guides walk readers through the complete engine, showcasing the methodology required to define each specific parameter, and how to translate the engineering math to the hard measurements reflected in various engine parts. Designing the engine to work as a system of related components is no small task, but the ease with which Baechtel escorts the reader through the process makes this guide perfect for both the budding engine enthusiast and the professional builder."
