Tin Indian tuning,
This review is from: How to Build Max Performance Pontiac V8s (S-A Design) (Paperback)
This book takes the reader through the stages of tuning a Pontiac V8, from 350 ci, through to 455 ci. What it doesn't do is give you "packages" of precribed power output. It'll take you through how to get the best from almost every stock part, and a few aftermarket parts too, but what you must do is decide is to what to use. Neither does it give you any information on the authors 11-second, 4000lb Pontiac station-wagon, something the book would greatly benefit from.
Apart from that, it's a well researched, well laid out book, that any V8 Pontiac gear-head should have on their bookshelf.

This review is from: How to Build Max Performance Pontiac V8s (S-A Design) (Paperback)
I've only skimmed through most of the book for a quick look at what's inside and I have already gotten several ideas on what I'm planning on doing. I can hardly wait to really dig into the details of some of the more involved procedures. This book is very well written, laid out and organized. Data is presented in a format that's easy to understand and references to additional data is plentiful.
GREAT BOOK - with LOTS of tips and tricks to help your Pontiac run better! Thank you Mr. Hand!
