4.0 out of 5 stars A great Hop Up history, March 10, 2004

By	Ted (Cody, WY USA) - See all my reviews

Though published in 195i by Floyd Clymer, there's a lot of interesting material here. For a 50 year old tome, much of the coverage is still applicable today, and the mentioned prices you're going to pay for your "hot road job" make you wonder what happened to the value of the greenback. Chapter 10, "What'll She Do", gives a suprisingly accurate means of back of the envelope estimating what you can expect from your flatmotor as far as horsepower and torque, long before the availabity of a flowbench. The igniton and supercharging sections make you appreciate our present day technology that much more. Keep looking, some copies seem to be coming available!
