A fairly good book. Covers a couple more subjects in addition to mapping e.g. knock, cam timing. The included Emerald software gives a basic understanding but it is not fully functional. An informative section about mapping an engine and what all the "different" map corrections are used for, shame it doesn't cover more! | 8/10 |
