Industry Reviews
In the sixty odd years I have been involved in motor sport this must have been one of the most widely read subjects with lots of books and magazine articles on the subject but I can honestly say this latest offering from the publishing house of Veloce is one of the best.

While a certain amount of information on camshafts, fuel supply, exhaust and ignition systems is given, more detailed coverage of these areas is available in other SpeedPro publications, but as a guide purely to what is required to get the best out of your cylinder head, whether new or secondhand, this book should be alongside them on your shelves.
