How to Build Horsepower, Volume 2: Carburetors and Intake Manifolds

Book was in great shape, being new that's what's expected. Cover material and paperstock are a little on the thin side, but whatever that's fine with me. Book is a plethora of knowledge, even for those well versed in the subject. It maybe even better for those people, frankly, because they can really follow along. Great description of intakes, carb operation, and methods to improve performance Good section on Holley Carbs, and a great section on Quadrajets. This book is an excellent compliment with Doug Roe and Cliff Ruggles quadrajet books, they really cover a lot In love David Vizard's books. He doesn't just give a technicians perspective (which is highly valuable in its own right), he gives a proper engineers perspective as well gives data to prove that he's not just blowing smoke. He really knows his stuff and, unlike most engineers, writes well and conveys his point clearly and articulately

Great info on Rochester Quadrajet carburetors

Building horsepower reliably is and art and a science. You must understand the elements of creating it and how to apply it to your engine. This book will explain why some combinations of manifolds and carb work together and more importantly why some don't! Before you buy any carb to help you go faster, you need this book! Take my word for it, there is irreplaceable knowledge in this book! David Vizard writes to give us the benefit of his decades of engine building experience and I buy everything he writes! If there are 2 books on the same topic, Vizard gets the nod. Buy this book and put it in your engine library, you will be glad you did!

This book was full of outstanding information. If you like to go fast or faster this book is for you.

David’s detail on the subject matters was spot on. He tells you exactly how to improve the air flow on multiple brands and explains in detail how the fuel flows and the different circuits.

good basic knowledge with good explanations

good book for beginner racer

We all have a lot to learn from Mr. Vizard. His first car had 25 hp. That was almost 60 years ago. He's done nothing but make power since. I really don't think there's a man on the planet with as much dyno and flow bench time as he has who is telling the world everything he has learned. Even if you don't live in V-8 musclecar land, there is still a lot to learn from his books. The top three I can recommend to any gearhead are, "How to Make Horsepower", his new head porting/flow bench book, and this one.

Trés bonne documentation, trés complète avec photos, et tout ce que l'on a besoin pour la réparation,restauration,ou amélioration d'un V8. Pour les amoureux des V8, c'est la bible !!

All OK, Thank you all.

la note n est pas maximale malgres que ce livre soit tres interressant.en effet l auteur david wizard a ecrit d autres livres plus complet sur ce sujet. trop de photo noir et blanc peu visibles,chapitre sur les carburateurs holley tres complet mais peu de choses sur les autres.

It's OK but is very short on explanation and leaves a lot of unanswered questions. normal for these type of pubs.
