With all you High Performance boaters on this forum someone should know of a outboard hop up book.Something with basics and fine high performance tuning tips would be great.Thanks for any info. Joe R

Two Stroke Tuner's Handbook by Gordon Jennings

out of print and highly sought after, sometimes you can find a lightly used or second hand version that has never had the spine cracked for a little over $100 (sometimes more :( )



Two-Stroke Performance Tuning by A. Graham Bell

almost the same info, a little more up to date, doesn't do the basics as well as Jennings


Two-Stroke High Performance Engine Design & Tuning by Ceasare Bossaglia

Spend $200 to by these 3 books and you won't regret it :)

Yeah, copyright violation extreme-o. As soon as HP Books or Jennings finds out about that site, it will be gone .... they guy might even have to pay royalites based on his site traffic .... dumb

Might even be a good idea for Greg to delete the link to avoid any complications of complicity
