Default Chevy LS1/LS6 Performance book

Recently purchased this book on the internet - Paperback and runs about 153 pages. It covers high performance modifications for street and racing on the LS1 and LS6 engines. It's a HP Book written by Christopher P. Endres. It looks like just the ticket for someone with limited LS1 mod experience (like me). Has anyone else seen or read this book? I'd like to get some other feedback on this one and any others that are well written.

have you looked through the book yet? If it is the book I'm thinking of, there isn't much performance info but mostly cosmetic stuff. I'm looking for a good book like you describe...

I got the book and they give a breif description on rebuilding a LS1-LS6 and alot of info ect... Pretty good book if you are rebuilding a LS1 since it gives you all the tourque specs ect.. Also they show a build up of a few Hi-po Ls1's and C5R engine..

Both books are light - as are all books for the LSx series engines sadly.

I have both books mentioned here, and they are FANTASTIC! in my opinion.
A definite purchase for any LSx series car owner!
