Summary: Fair at best
Comment: This is a very good book for a beginner, who is mainly interested in using GM/Chevy manufactured parts to build their motor.

I was a little disappointed that the author did not cover more after market parts, and give more examples to building a sound motor.

The author wrote in such a way where you feel like you are in middle school learning about motors.

In summary, fair book, fair price, decent amount of information but not alot on after market parts. More theory, less practical examples.

Summary: Dave's book needs better copyediting but has good info
Comment: Dave Emanuel, whose name has been in high performance automotive journals for years, presents some good information aimed at making your high performance effort a success with this book. Don't even look at the dyno "charts" in the back of the book because the copyediting on them is terrible. Also, I'd recommend that Dave pull out names of people and places and put them into an easy-to-use reference section rather than burying them in the text. Also, Dave, if you're going to say something is good, you better tell us why. "The oval port casting numbers of interest are..., which were originally installed on...engines" doesn't qualify as "supporting detail" or an explanation. Is it for the reader to determine that these are the open/semi-open chamber versions of the small valve heads? To Dave's credit, his information reads well and features tried and trued high performance techniques not a bunch of the latest in bags of tricks that may or may not do anything more than consume your time and money. Generally, if you're looking to make more power, sticking to Dave's recommendations will keep you going straight and narrow...and probably a lot quicker!
