Dellorto & Weber Tuning Book! Any Good?

I am getting a new Dellorto DHLA 48 Carb for my SP 12a. I dont really have much experience with tuning these types of carbs. I getting a Wide Band 02 to help in the tuning process, but I saw this book on ebay and was wondering if it is any good or if it is just a waste of money.

heres the link:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/How-t...25866191QQrdZ1

Any buddy on here use this book? Or use a book they think is better?

Let me know

how to build and powertune is an excellent book. after i bought my first dellorto it was not running right. i bought and read the book cover to cover then tuned that puppy. works great. any dhla questions just ask, also www.gruntled.com is a great resource for dhla.

i bought the haynes weber book and it is good but the book above goes into more detail, more pictures, more tuning and performance help.

The Haynes book goes over IDA and IDF as well as many, many other models (including DCD that Rotary Engineering used). Not as thorough as the how to powertune but it'll give you a good understanding of how it works along with exploded parts diagram. You can get the Haynes books on ebay for $8.00 usually.
