Had mine for a week. Interesting reading. Still believe my old H.O. Racing books had more info as to engineering of the engines. But, it is refreshing to see a new book on Pontiac engines. Who has enough GTO and Firebird books, I sure don't.........

It must be those no good, Ch@by driving customs guys! They're probably photo copying all the good stuff, and fudgeing the rest of the info. so we can't beat them when we go to the track. B@stards!

Got mine this morning. I spent about an hour on it and so far, it is a very good all around book. There's plenty of performance stuff as well as basic stuff for those who are new to the hobby or those who haven't built an engine in a few years and could appreciate a refresher (me)!

The camshaft section is huge and there seems to be a lot of stuff on head porting in there too.

Thank you to everyone who ordered the book. I apologize for those who had to wait or are still waiting. The post office is slow , but is our only option to be able to offer free shipping. Those who are still waiting please be patient. We are headed to Norwarlk late today and will not be in the office until Monday so that gives you all a few days to let the post office catch up. I think we caught them off guard We are still offering <span class="ev_code_RED">free shipping</span> through Sept 1st.

Finally! A big thanks to the author and everyone who helped make this happen. Just ten pages in, I already have a newfound interest in our big '63. Once our big-inch Trans Am is running, maybe the "little" 389 will terrorize the strip.
