This book is awesome from the perspective of a General Motors engineer who now works for a nationally reputable speed shop The sideline tips and tricks that nobody tells you about is worth it. The planning out your engine for your project is worth it. Just buy the book, you won’t regret it. It will save you time and money on your next build by helping you set the motor up correctly for room to expand/add power adders down the road. Review: Calidad del producto - Me gusta muchisimo las fotografias con su descripción, muy bien explicado. Lo que me hubiera gustado mas es que incluyera reseñas de los motores 5.3, 6.0 y 6.2.
