How to Build Horsepower: Volume 1 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book covers every major engine component and is a great primer on combustion theory, while being very easy to read and understand. Diagrams, drawings and photos tell you what to do and why - or why not to do it. Mr. Vizard presents everything within the context of what is practical and worthwhile for "streetability," vs. what else might make sense for all-out racing performance. What a great book for anyone who wants to add HP, even those with no idea where to begin!

Big-Block Chevy Marine Performance Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Finally, someone has written a technical manual for those of us who like to fiddle with modern gasoline marine inboard and I/O engines. This book has been long overdue! There exists a plethora of books on building up hot-rod automobile engines, but the marine hot-rod has been mostly untouched. Dennis Moore does an excellent job presenting the subtle differences between a car engine and a marine engine, from the carburetor, intake manifold, heads, cam, to the critical exhaust manifolds and marine headers. Though this book is based on Chevy big blocks, the principles are easily adaptable to all makes of marine engines.
I am currently building up a Chevy SB 350 to a 383 "stroker" and have found this book indispensable. I highly recommend it for anyone who tinkers with marine inboards! Nice job Dennis!

Baja Bugs and Buggies: How to prepare VW-based cars for off-road fun and racing Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was very glad to find this book. It is straight forward and full of photographs look at how to beef-up a VW based bug or buggy. There are tons of tricks ad tips in here that aren't HIGH DOLLAR jobs. Simple and easy things to do during your build up that will save you hours trying to go back and fix things later. It should be called How to do it right the First time! It is one of few auto books with real knowledge in it that skips the technical jargon and flashy billet parts and suggests things that will work!
You will be pleased with it wether you are building a Baja, Street Bug, Rail Buggy or Dune Buggy. The air cooled VW motor still rules an always will!

Two-Stroke Performance Tuning Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I found this book I was hoping that it would educate me on how to actually tune a motor. It covers more of how to build a tuned motor. If I were to ever take up engine building I would highly recommend this book. If you are Joe kart racer or Bob moto racer I would put it low on the get list, as it doesn't really give much fingertip tuning tips.

How To Build a Harley-Davidson Torque Monster (Motorbooks Workshop) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great book, very informative. the author of this book takes the time to explain in simple easy to understand terms, how the components that make up your engine work and how to properly make performance mods successful. The way this book is written is differnet from most of the performance books I have read. As I read the book, I almost felt like I was having a conversation with the author in person! If I had this book twenty years ago, I could have saved a ton of money over the years. About the only negative thing I can say about the book is that some of the pictures are not of the best resolution, but they still get the message across of what the author is trying to point out. The bottom line is, the book was enjoyable to read and I learned a lot of new things about how motors work and how to modify them to make more power and save money at the same time. This book is well worth its cost!

Many people modify their Harley-Davidson engines—and find the results disappointing. What they might not know—and what this book teaches—is that emphasizing horsepower over torque, the usual approach, makes for a difficult ride. Author Bill Rook has spent decades perfecting the art of building torque-monster V-twin Harley engines. Here he brings that experience to bear, guiding motorcycle enthusiasts through the modifications that make a bike not just fast but comfortable to ride. With clear, step-by-step instructions, his book shows readers how to get high performance out of their Harleys—and enjoy them, too.
