Default Are they any books on performance tuning? Please help & helps are highly appreciates

Hi to all guys and girls here, Im new to here but having some questions to ask all of you and hope all of you can help me. Thanks in advance.

Here's are some of My Questions :

Im doing some research of custom sportbikes.So what I would like to know is are they any books no matter it is in hardcover or softcover which teaches and tells us on how to customizing our sportbikes on their performance especially top performance and have turbocharger, supercharger and nitrous system with it? I've found some of the books but not sure whether they are right or not.

The books are :
  1. Maximum Boost - designing,testing and installing Turbocharger Systems (By Corky Bell)
  2. HPBooks Turbochargers (By Hugh Maclnnes)
  3. Super Tuning and Modifying Holley Carburetors (By Dave Emanuel)
  4. How to install and use Nitrous System for Maximum Horsepower (By Joe Petitt)
  5. A Do-it-yourself Guide to: Street Supercharging

Which 1 suitable for me? Or which books will you recommend for me?

Hope all of you can help me. Helps are highly appreciates and gladly accepted.

maximum boost is a really good book on turbo charging the others i've never seen.

try "sportbike performance handbook" by Kevin Cameron




Why are you researching this? are you planning a project? or just throwing around the idea? there are alot of people on here that have done alot of stuff, if you have questions just post them up. there are quite a few people on here with turbo and nitrous bikes or turbo and nitrous cars that can give you some info.

Try Building and Tuning High-Performance Electronic Fuel Injection by Ben Strader. Good place to start.
