Although I ended up buying a Z-28 Camaro, this book is great. It has the dyno numbers and timeslips before and after the mods. This is very important because you can predict how much faster you'll be with the money you're about to spend. Most books don't provide timeslips which [stink]..the use of power is to make your car go faster. What use is knowing how much power you've got when you don't know if you can dust you're competition or not. Most of all, it covers the 96 to 98 style mustangs (which I was looking for) with the 4.6. Not many books are out there that cover these GT's.

This book is full of details and has several tests with different modifications done. You can see the one that suits better with your ideas and with the much you can afford.
You will find simple modifications that yourself can do during the weekend and more complexing ones using nitrous and super chargers.

I was looking for technical data for the 06 4.6 which the preview said that it had. It didn't have more that just a few pages that even had anything for this engine let alone any data.

This book is basically a republishing of articles from Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords Magazine. But that is pretty much the only negative thing about it. If you haven't had a subscription, or you don't categorize and bookmark issues you do have, this is a good thing to have, especially, if like me, you haven't worked on a lot of cars. In introductions to chapters, it adds information that may have been left out of articles, which I found answered questions I had. It makes a good addition to the Haynes manual, which just covers stock items. I find it good reading even for those items I have no plan to upgrade. More pictures of the projects and references to chapters (or information on) other projects on the same vehicle would have made this a five star rating.
