I disagree on Pontiac content, as they had exactly what I needed when I returned to the hobby in 2000.

I was looking for classic driveline info in order to build a strong street/touring/strip combo and didn't recall head/block/crank combos. Most importantly, I needed to know how hard and fast you could run with reworked stock parts vs offshore hard parts. HPP's Shootout articles thru the years with their detailed spec charts and tuning logs are unique among all car rags in my experience and were just what I was looking for.

HPP did a "shootout" @ LACR in Palmdale featuring Pontiac Drag Days competitors in the longest running Pontiac racing series. Look for these cars/specs/pics to be featured later this year and into 2006.

Ls-1 articles are apparently necessary to broaden the reader base and to pay the rent, and I find some of the best how-to "A" body articles in Chebby High Performance.

Time to confess, I receive close to 10 automotive mags each month and I find something of interest in all of them .
