Reading some books, any suggestions?

I have an order placed for
"Street Rotary HP1549: How to Build Maximum Horsepower & Reliability into Mazda's 12a, 13b & Renesis Engines " and I have the Haynes Service Manual for the second gen rx-7.
I'm also looking for which Chassis Engineering book should I get.
What other books do you guys recommend having/reading?

Engine Management Advanced Tuning

Turbo: Real-World High-Performance Turbocharger Systems (S-A Design)
http://www.amazon.com/Turbo-Real-Wor...d_bxgy_b_img_c

I would suggest those two books for anyone thinking of building a Turbocharged engine especially if the plan to exceed the OEM output levels by more than 20% and work with a standalone EMS.

Thank you,
I think i'll get the EMS book. Have you read it before? Do you think it'll have information on Rotary tuning?

I liked the STREET ROTARY book.
It's obviously not rotary specific, but IMO GRASSROOTS MOTORSPORTS is a good periodical/magazine that has some decent suspension/chassis articles and relatively objective evaluations on things like tires, brake pads and aftermarket parts.

Fuel injection is not exactly rotary specific. The same principles apply.
