Default Anyone ever purchased this performance manual???

Free C4 and C5 Corvette Performance Modifications Manual
The Corvette Nuts at P-Tech Enterprises recognized the need for a simple step by step "How To" manual for getting 100 more horse power from your C4 and C5 Corvette.

This information has been distilled from years of trial and error work by some of the best Vette mechanics in the industry. Don't try to re-invent the wheel, our manual will save you time , money and frustration.
P-Tech has been offering performance upgrade manuals and high performance technical advise to the Corvette community for almost ten years now.

We are confident that once you recieve the manual (which normally retails for over $25) you will revisit our site and become part of our Corvette family.

All we ask is $5 dollars to cover some of our website and order processing costs, and we will email you a copy of the manual in an easy to open, easy to print out, high quality PDF file. Just about every computer on Earth is able to open an Acrobat PDF file.
We are trying this new electronic method of shipping the manual in place of actually sending a hard copy.
You are getting the full version of the hard copy manual, the only difference is that you print it out instead of us.
Our reduced shipping,handling and printing costs translate into reduced cost for our customers.
If you are serious about increasing the level of enjoyment from the Corvette experience order the manual, you will not be dissapointed.

Tobijohn donated to receive the manual. There is nothing in the manual that you don't already know. Pretty much a scam. Read 5 posts in this section and you will know more than what this "book" contains.
:cheers:

Hey, thanks. ;) $5.00 :lolg: I spent $6.75 for a beer at the Rod show, I ordered it. :) I can make alot of $5.00 mistakes. If I learn anything it will be well worth it. If I don't, it might become wall paper in my garage. But give the guys credit man- ;)

Here's two books that are good reading: HP Books How to rebuild Small-Block Chevy LT-1/LT-4 Engines by Mike Mavrigian and HP Books Small-Block Chevy Performance by Dave Emanuel.

Check them out in the libuary to see if you like them. If you have a LT1/4, get the first one before you pull your engine. These and the Helms Manuals are all you need along with the forum of course. :chevy

:iagree:

"John Lingenfelter on Modifying Small-block Chevy Engines" is a pretty good reference, too....

Any good recommendations for the L98? I noticed there's some in the back of the ecklers catalog that look interesting. I suppose that SBC Performance book would be adequate for my Gen-I small block?

Well, I'm no engine builder but that Lingenfelter book I mentioned earlier looked like it had stuff relevant to L-98s....
