Default Ideas For a New C5 Tech Book

Don't know if any of you know Hib Halverson, but he's looking for ideas from C5 owners to include a tech book he wants to write.

Review the Cartech LS1/LS6 book, and go more in depth. The book doesnt need to be 1500 pages, altho it damn well could be.

I may have to go back to CAC and tell 'em a few things...

Take the Stickies in Internal Engine and the sticky in this forum (still growing rapidly!), and combine those with the Camshaft threads, the Ignition Timing thread, and some porting information (I'm working on it...) and there's not much left. Unless he makes an indepth tuning section, there's not much else I care about....all that'll be left is ammunition for reigniting header/intake/camshaft/whatever wars.

I'm going to keep working on my Sticky, which will include links to the threads I've already mentioned, and if I ever learn enough about tuning, it'll include that information as well. Right now the Sticky is already 36 pages, and could be over 150 pages by this time next year. I refuse to touch performance part comparisons because I'm not going to help the lazy azzes that keep asking the same old questions over and over and over and...unless helping means cramming a size 10 kevlar reinforced boot up their lazy...
