About the Author :
Jim Kartalamakis was born in Salonica, Greece. He went to Toronto, Canada, to study electrical engineering, and at 23 bought his first Alfa, which was where it all started. 30 years later, Jim still fondly remembers the life and times of the ARCC (Alfa Romeo Club of Canada). He returned to Greece in 1979, and ever since has had only one make of car, albeit different models – from a 1750 GT through to an Alfetta GTV, a 75 3.0 to, currently, another 75 3.0 and a 1.8 Turbo. For many years Jim was a technical writer for several car magazines, and the official Alfa Romeo technical manual translator in Greece. His other works include The Alfa Romeo DOHC High-performance Manual, another book in Veloce’s SpeedPro series.

Is it worth buying? Definitely for anyone interested in Alfa Romeos, those with a technical bent and anyone who wants a Christmas present that an Alfista will appreciate for years. Regardless of anything else, it's a great read. Alfa News. The publisher and writer call this book the definitive Alfa DOHC engine high performance bible. That is an understatement. Logically presented chapter by chapter in concise, easy to understand language, this book is a must for all owners or prospective owners, of the V6 Alfa Romeo models. This book is part of Veloce Publishings much heralded SpeedPro Series. This particular Alfa volume was written for the knowledgeable do-ityourself tuner, but if you are a mechanic trying to keep Afla enthusiasts cars on the road then I would also heartfelt recommend you have a copy of this book as a reference. This volume follows in the tracks of the author's well-known DOHC tuning manual and delivers V6 enthusiasts everywhere an expert guide for preserving, improving and modifying these excellent cars. The entire book consists of simple, yet explicit steps that are supported by detailed coloured photographs, charts, and illustration on such topics as cylinder head modification, airflow diagrams and dyne plot data. Between the covers you'll find all the important measurements are provided for the unique LSD building procedure, an equally distinctive inductive distributor recruiting with step-by-step instructions, affordable big-brake modifications, a complete suspension sub-section, and all the necessary modern electrical system upgrades.
