Because of this it becomes more important for the lifter to not pump-up. Other dynamics pertaining to leakdown ratings and there effect on performance is also covered. Lots of out of the box type original thinking here.
Lots of good information in this book that I would consider A must read. You could order this book new thru an ebay book seller and have it in A week. To this day I still page thru it occationally even tho I've read it several times.
