Great job Julian! I purchased your book through Amazon and read it cover to cover. It is nice to see forum members’ photos in book form. I really appreciate the careful research and the time you took to dig up and go through all the published SAE papers and paraphrase them for us. I have been a member of this forum for a long time but I still learned much from your book.

As I was reading, I kept thinking “Where is the build thread for your Insight?” Would you be so kind as to start a thread on this forum and enter your gas log? There a several Insight threads here and I think your build would be of great interest to our readers. You could mention your books in your signature.
