Jon,
Do you have literature on 2-stroke engine performance (porting, expansion boxes etc...)?
I'm also interested in rotary engines. Years ago there was a company by the name of "Racing Beat" they were in Anaheim (California?). They specialised in go faster goodies for rotaries. I must admit i don't know if they still exist....

No. If you hit on something that you think is outstanding
please let me know.

Yup. Many years ago I had their catalog because for a short
while I had an RX/7. They had a bunch of stuff for what I
think was called the 13B engine. Sold the car after only
having it a short time. You had to rev it like crazy and
keep the rev's high to go moderately fast.

Engine Builder's Handbook is one I like
Engine Blueprinting is also a good book and reference.

David Vizard has written some good books on every aspect of a motor. ie rotating assembly, cam & valvetrain, intake & cylinder heads. Really good reads...most of his examples are using the chevy small block but the info and concepts can be applied to all motors.

Read anything by Smokey Yunik. He's the man!
