I already know “maximum boost” by corkey bell is a great read, But I was looking more into a engine managment book that goes over the opperating and tunning of todays ecu’s
going over key words like "narrow/wide band, closed loop, timing ect ect…
I just want to brush up and I have a very long road trip ahead of me tomorrow so I was wondering if anyone could recomend a book.

it requires that you have a basic understanding of how an engine works, if you are a TOTAL noob to tuning/ems then it might be a little over the top for you.
