I've got the Corky bell book but have only read the section on intake 
design.  Since I know nothing about how different types work (except for 
runner length) I found it good beginner info.  If you already know what a 
symetrical vs. non-symetrical intake is and the pro's and con's to single 
vs. multi-throttles then you won't be impressed.  I didn't so I was.

Now I'm starting at the beginning and I get a take home message out of 
every page !!  But I know nothing about turbos.  Corky set me straight on 
the difference between boost threshold and lag.  What I thought was lag 
is really boost threshold.  That's just the first few pages.  I think you 
can all guess from this description as to whether this book is for you or 
not.

Hope this helps.
Now if we could find somebody who's read the "practical gas flow" book.

later all
