“David Vizard has been involved in the tuning business for many years.  During this time, he has acquired a reputation for producing very fast racing and road cars and, as a driver, has experienced considerable success on the track in cars he has built himself.
In this book he has passed on much of his knowledge concerning the modification of cylinder heads to improve the performance of engines.  As the title suggests, not only does he tell you how to carry out these modifications, but also why they improve the performance.
At the end of the book he has included actual size drawings of the combustion chambers of many popular cars and just how they should be altered.  These can be traced and used as templates in the workshop.
This work is intended both as a textbook for the engineering student and as a guide for the practical enthusiast who simply wants to make his car go faster.  It should be of great use to both.”
