Default Any good links/books to recommend for understanding engine internals?
Impact of upgrading cams, rods, pistons, valves, etc?

I don't entirely understand engine basics (I understand how the 4 stroke works but that's it) so any books/links to recommend would help.

I think I get the impact of chip tuning - boost, fuel & timing - and fmic/smic for IAT but would like to better undertstand engine basics and tuning.

Thanks,
David

I bet Bentley publishers have some good material if you're looking for Audi-specific.

Default check out amazon, i'd imagine they'd have a good selection of engine dynamics
and that type of deal...

Default I previously picked up "Four-Stroke Performance Tuning" by A. Bell but it's over my head
Looking for something simpler
