That is a list from another website that I go to.

I just ordered a few that are very good. You already referenced one. But i will add it to the list of books I bought for my next project...

# Maximum Boost, by Corky Bell
# TurboCharging, by Hugh Macinnes
# Competition Car Downforce, by Simon McBeath (This book is GREAT, it was
recomended to me by another member on this site, who holds several Hill Climb records.)

Hope that helps.

I will also add. The Milliken book listed first on that list, is a great one to have. It diagrams out almost every possible suspension. I have used diagrams from it on this site to explain the torque arm rear suspension, and compare it to a 3 link, etc.
