What have others said about this EFI Book?
First off a couple pro reviews/awards:
Awarded the 2010 International Automotive Media Awards Bronze Medal for
best written Technical Reference Book (2nd place award, there was no
silver in 2010)
-2010 IAMA Awards
"We've all heard that an educated consumer is a better customer. It
would seem that authors Jerry Hoffmann and Matt Cramer of DIYAutoTune
are firm believers in this axiom. Their new book, Performance
Fuel Injection Systems, expertly
walks readers through the processes and pitfalls of working with
aftermarket fuel-injection systems. Despite their MegaSquirt-heavy
business model at DIYAutoTune, the authors deliver an even-handed look
at all of the players in the market. While this book is a must-read for
beginners, we're keeping it on our shelf to use as a reference for
future conversions."

Ok -
1) So pick your favorite car magazine.
2) Now try to remember the best 'tech' article that you ever read in
that magazine.
If you're like me, you found that 'tech' article fascinating and
informative; maybe you couldn't put it down until you finished it, and
then you ran to the garage to try out what you learned.
This book is like that - except it's a WHOLE BOOK instead of just some
little snippet!
I got the book in the mail the day before I went on a short vacation to
the beach. I plopped onto the sand, and read every single page - cover
to cover. My wife thought I was nuts to be reading a fuel injection
manual instead of frolicking in the surf. The book is THAT good.
It really spells out how all the sensors 'talk' to each other, how to
map out what your EFI system should look like for your particular
application, what components you can borrow from existing cars, and
several other nice tips.
If you know nothing about DIY EFI, this will give you a great overview.
If you know think you know everything about DIY EFI, this book might
teach you something.
It is NOT a step-by-step instruction manual - but it will provide
excellent guidance and clarity to you as you build your system. Most of
the info you would need to build your own EFI system is online
somewhere, but it can be tough to understand the jargon and the
measurements. This book helps keep you on course as you learn.
Well written, well worth the money - even if you never build your own
system, it'll help you understand how your car works. It may even help
you make a basic repair the next time your factory system breaks down.
Love it.

I have read most of the books out there on EFI and modifications to
same.This book really tells you what you need to get into Do-It-Yourself
EFI. The authors have "been there" themselves, and it shows in this
book. If you are thinking about getting into EFI you need this book.

If your'e just getting started in EFI this book is ideal for you. Covers
all the basics from fuel line and sizing to airflow metering and which
setup is going to best for your application. Gives a run down and basic
listing of most known after-market stand alone EFI systems and what they
will allow you to accomplish, making deciding on which unit you want a
snap. Where this book shines is from chapter 12 on. Explaining, in
enough depth to ensure a number of re-reads, how to configure and tune
your engine management system. The detail here is brilliant, giving you
a place to start with everything from calculating and finding ideal
ignition timing to engine fueling needs in warm-up and acceleration
enrichment. There are almost step by step instructions here when you get
to the dyno or a track to begin tuning. There are also three system
installs in the rear of the book explaining the use of the Megasquirt
system on a V8, a turbo MR2 and a Zetec kitcar. The diagrams, tables and
photos are of excellent quality. At 150 odd pages it is not surprising
how little fill has been required to cover what will get you from an EFI
zero to an EFI hero, well maybe not hero but enough to get your vehicle
running. Excellent.
