If you couldn't tell by now... I'm a serious noob when it comes to the math involved in tuning. I've had a couple posts on my upcoming engine (intake formulas, header formulas, types of manifolds, etc) just because I'm almost totally ignorant on the subject.

Are there any books or whatnot that I can read/buy that will give me some of this information, and save some bandwidth on this forum to boot?

Things I'm spacifically wanting are, like I said, math formula's for producing the custom parts I'd like (Intake and Exhaust). Also some other things that recently came up, such as... What RPM should I tune for? And the differences in long/short primary exhausts?

If anyone has experience in this, and wouldn't mind schooling me a bit, I'd really appreciate it. PM me with a message, or you AIM/Yahoo ID, or post some good sources of info (BTW, I'm picking up Corky Bell's books in the very-soon future)

 

Go and read all of these

I'll PM you my email address sometime. I have 80% of the notes on this distributed around and just need to be heaved off my fat **** to collate them. So please collect a list of questions.

There are still some big holes in my theory, most notably over the issue of whether rotary exhausts respond to mass flow or sonic flow primarily. If I can get a dyno plot of the same engine with 2 different primary lengths I can then work back and get the answer.
