Alfa Romeo DOHC Engine High-Performance Manual (Speedpro) 
Product Description: Ten years have passed since the original edition of this book was published, but Alfa Romeo enthusiasts everywhere are more active today than ever in preserving, modifying and racing these excellent cars. Throughout this time, the author in true Alfista fashion, never stopped looking for and trying new techniques to increase the power, overall performance and reliability of Alfas and their engines. This book is the result of much research, and also first-hand experience gained through many Alfa rear wheel drive model projects, from the 105 series to the last of the 75 models. There is a lot of completely new information regarding TwinSpark Cylinder head mods, big-brake mods, LSD adjustment procedure, electrical system improvements, plus many flow-bench diagrams, dyno plots, and much more.
Customer Ratings: - A gearheads bible for Alfa s little twin-cammer. Is the material dated...most of it probably, but so is the subject. There is very little available for those of us who have this love-hate passion with old cars, especially if our object of affection is one of the many lovely and sometimes obscure models or makes from Europe. The Alfa four cylinder twin-cam engines comes from a time when the owner of a car could, if they felt like it, tune or modify the car without having to remap a silicone chip (I ve looked all over my Weber s and I have not been able to find a serial or USB interface for my laptop). Today s designs are marvels of efficiency and reliability but for many of us whom like to get grease under our fingernails working on pre HAL controlled jewels like the Alfa inline TC fours and sixes, this book conveys a trove of information on what will work in our quest to squeeze the most performance from our lovely Italian mistresses (imho).
- Must Have for Alfa Dogs. This is a wealth of info for the cars in question. Informative, well-written, the voise of experience speaks. While you will not agree with all the conclusions drawn, this update takes years off your learning curve. The author is congenial without being smarmy, and offers a book that needed to be written. Don t modify your Alfa without it...
- alfa romeo dohc engine high performance manual. Lots of practical information on buiding high performance Alfas including some not so well known info such as throttle plate angle on Weber DCOE carbs,( very useful) would have liked some more Twin SPark specific info...maybe in the next book, Jim? a great read for Alfa lunatics...
