Masport Speed Shop Announces EFI Tuning Book - “Master EFI Tuner” Available at Masport Speed Shop
BOCA RATON, Florida - November 26, 2008 – Masport Speed Shop today announced the release of a new EFI tuning book, “Master EFI Tuner”, written by Dan Maslic, the owner of Masport Speed Shop. Master EFI Tuner was written with one goal in mind: To show readers how to tune almost any engine combination imaginable using commonly available tuning software and a simple, straight-forward tuning process.
Master EFI Tuner will provide readers with the necessary theoretical knowledge required to understand automotive EFI systems along with straight forward, right-down-to-the-heart-of-the-matter information that is easily understood and immediately useable by the reader tune almost any engine! The book does this using a very simple format…
First, the concepts of EFI and the relevant theory are spelled out in very simple terms that are easy to understand. This allows the reader to gain the necessary knowledge and insight required to confidently approach any EFI system that needs tuning.
Second, a universal, yet highly detailed tuning process is provided in a step-by-step format that allows readers to follow the relevant steps required to tune any EFI system. The detailed tuning process covers everything from basic system settings up to providing detailed information on how to correctly tune by recalibrating the Mass Air Flow sensor table and correctly setting the Volumetric Efficiency table(s) and Ignition Timing Advance table(s). The step-by-step process is easy to follow and is universal in that the tuning process can be used on almost any EFI system and on almost any type of vehicle, whether it’s a car, boat, airplane or motorcycle. After you’ve read the book, you’ll be able to tune almost anything!
Third, the tuning process is reinforced with 6 different case studies that show how the tuning process is applied using real-world examples. Case studies include different vehicles that have been modified from mild to wild.
Lastly, everyone who purchases a copy of Master EFI Tuner will receive a free subscription to the book’s complementary website, “www.masterefituner.com”. This website will complement the book with even more useful tuning information! Each month, a new case study will be featured on the website along with other useful and relevant EFI tuning information, including tuning “how-to” videos. This revolutionary website will help provide continuous and up-to-date information each and every month. A tentative editorial schedule of case studies includes the following vehicles…
