Default Book outlining mods for LS1 Camaro?

Title says it. I have a 2002 z28. It is basically stock. I want to dump a bucket of cash (wisely) into making the car a monster. Heads, cam, exhaust, etc. I know there is a lot of information on this forum, but I would like to find a book that has all that information organized neatly into chapters. So, any good books on the subject?

No offence, but you should always search the net before you ask. That's a good way to keep people from smashing you on here

Search ls1 on amazon and a couple should come up. I had a few books in 03 when I bought my first z28. You will end up coming back here to learn anyway. Its all here and more.

Here is a link that references some books:

Here is another link that could be considered an on-line book of sorts, with neatly organized sections:

Call a local sponsor with some knowledge. They know these cars.

Problem with books is that they are like computers, by the time they come out, they're already outdated.

For those bashing me on not searching the net first, I said good books. It is difficult to determine if a book is any good based on the description on Amazon. I was hoping for first hand experience from other members on the forum. I have read the stickies.

Camaro Performers and GMHTP are two good magazines with lots of information. It's not organized like a book, but you could check out their websites to find back issues.
