Looking for comments on my new book... Fellow LS1Tech-ers:
I'd like to put a call out to all of you for comments on my new book, "How to Rebuild GM LS-Series Engines." It's my first book and I really put a lot of effort into making it the best it could be, so I'm anxious to hear how everyone thinks it turned out.
For those of you who have it, I'd like to hear your feedback regarding anything and everything. For example, some areas I'd like to hear your thoughts on are:
-layout / ease of reading
-technical accuracy
-any typographical errors you may have noted
-whether anything is "missing" from the book that you would liked to have seen
-etc.
You'll also note that I mentioned ls1tech.com in the source guide and included it in the source guide of the book - which says a lot about how highly I regard the opinions of everyone on this site. Thank you in advance!

Many LS1Tech sponsors are starting to carry it. For example, Exotic Performance Plus:

Excellent "how to" book. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot.
I would love to see a book based on the installations most have done here. Engine in car cam swaps for f-body and y-body cars. Steps like how to remove the steering rack, valve springs swaps with heads-on engine, etc. Basically, an LS1howto.com in book format.

Its a great book. I ordered mine back in June and got it a few days ago.
Very well written. Each step is described in detail and has great pictures of each step.
The icons that identify a critical step, precision measurement, ect only show that you took the time necessary to do this project right.
I especially like Figure 2 in Appendix B. The layout of the book for me is spot on. Its easy on the eyes, and the color pictures are great.... (something I wish GMHTP would do with all pics.....) and the shear volume of pictures is fantastic.....oh...nice shot of you on page 84....good to see you place an emphasis on safety......
For me personally... I would have like to have seen more focus placed on the tuning aspect of this build, however, I realize this book was not intended to focus on that.
If your articles for GMHTP are the cake...this book is the icing.
Very well done.
