Best Engine Tune Book? Help

Hey guys and maybe ladies. I am determined before next Spring to learn as much as I can about the design and tuning of RC car engines. I want to be our track expert. I know better than anyone that there is no teacher like experience but I also know that a good book can go a long way. Can you recommend what book out there is the best reference for tuning and troubleshooting Nitro engines. Please also note whether you own and use the book and where it can be found.

Thanks, Bill
 
Hey man, I just picked up a book called "Radio Control Performance Plus". It's from the publishers of Radio Control Car Action.

I just got it, but from what little I've been able to read, it's got a lot of good tips in it! I got it at the HobbyTown USA off Fields-Ertel.
 
There are a few pretty good articles online. The rc magazines will post them after a month or 2 sometimes. Might start there. Here is one that is decent. http://www.rchobbies.org/cars_eng-tuning.htm

Sounds like you already know there is no substitute for hands on experience.
Good luck.
