These books are VERY informative and detailed, but unless you are extremely serious about tuning your engine to make big power, you won't finish the books because they are fairly technical and you'll have to have a good understanding of how an engine works prior to reading them.

I'll sum everything up by telling you that increasing MEP during the power stroke, decreasing rotational inertia loss and parasitic loss from accessories (AC, powersteering, etc...), and reducing friction inside the engine is what it will take to make big power.

Before this gets out of hand, please search around. People have talked about almost all the parts out for the 7th gen civic and even parts coming out. general concensus is that the 7th gen will not go fast without FI (despite what blck99vtec says). Please search and you shall recieve!
