ok guys I have been tryin gto follow both this board and the engine swap one... but really I have a hard time... anyone has a reading suggestion for me? I know how an engine works, I know the parts... but I don't know the EFFECTS a part will have.. like.. numbers on a cam.. or the displacement... all that chit... am I making any sense? I want to understand better how I can modify an engine, how it really works... any books.. or websites suggestions?

 

this is a pretty good site for tech and how to info, for better understanding of cam specs look at comp or lunatis site or catalog.

 

ok.. well here's the deal (dunno if I should put in the engine swap board instead...) very soon I will go with a new engine.. but I know notihng about that so I will have it build by a shop... but since I don't knwo anything about numbers and stuff... I'd like to learn, to tell them what I really want...
