4 out of 5 stars Excellent LS Series Engine Buildup Guide   December 26, 2007
This book delivers what it says; great "how to" guide for getting more horse power out of your LS series engine. Easy to read and understand, lots of photos and plenty of tips. The book caters to the F-body as well as the corvette. How to remove the engine and make the upgrades; cam, heads, intake, and exhaust. I came away with a very good idea of how to accomplish these upgrades. The last chapter covers the various programing tools; diablo, LS1 Edit, etc., which you will need to take advantage of the upgrades it discusses. I recommend this guide as a great first step when you decide its time for more out of your LS engine.


4 out of 5 stars LS1 n00b...good book, good info, worth the $   September 23, 2007
Have to say I am new to the ls motor "club". My plans were to do an efi gen3 swap in my old truck. Bought this book looking to get some insight other than what I have read on the web forums. The book layout is good, and the pictures really give you an idea of what the author is talking about, not just agreeing and nodding your head, you really learn something.
Might not be for advanced ls gurus, but for a beginner like me, with a little understanding of motors and chevy small blocks, but have never r+r a motor or rebuilt one. I would Recommend this book to others.



5 out of 5 stars Very informative and insightful   July 12, 2007
I've known Gen 1 small block Chevy engines all my life, but now am embarking on a streetrod project with an LS1 engine. This book is very informative and offers a comprehensive description of this new generation of Chevy motors, along with many details on performance enhancements and resulting dyno run numbers. A "must read" for anyone who is not yet familiar with all the variations of these LS motors, and for those who may be contemplating a "re-use" one of these LS motors. Paul


5 out of 5 stars Great book for the beginner   January 19, 2007
Over all I like the book. I am very glad I bought it. Perfect when it came out a few years ago and most of the info passes on to the Gen 4. I'm looking forward to the next book coming out in Feb. 2007


5 out of 5 stars Excellent GEN III Small Block Text   January 4, 2007
The definitive source of modification information on the Gen III (and IV) small block LS series engines written by an authoratative author. At this writing (January 2007) there is no better book on these fine engines. I am an engineer and a former mechanic and I have learned a great deal about these engines. I am using some of this information to suppliment my GM factory manuals in the build-up of a 408 CID (6.7 L) Stroker version of the cast iron 6.0 L engine in my 2000 3/4 ton Yukon XL truck/SUV.
