    Is this a good book for LS1's?

    Tried a search and found nothing. I was wondering if this would be a good book to pick up. If not, any recommendations?

    Ive got that book, and a couple others. Check out Dyno-Proven GM LS1 thru LS7 Performance Parts by Richard Holdener and most importantly, How to Build High-Performance Chevy LS1/LS6 V-8s by big bad Will Handzel. The latter is a must have for someone trying to get into this engine

    I ordered "How to Build High-Performance Chevy LS1/LS6 V-8s" and "How to Build and Modify GM LS-Series Engines" on Sunday from Amazon. I picked the free shipping which advertises a 5-9 business day shipping period. I received them today (Tuesday). Amazon rocks.

    Both books appear to be exactly what I'm looking for. I can't wait to upgrade my library with some more books.
