Default LS1 Books

Didn't know if this needed to go here or newb tech, but I was wondering if anybody had these books? I am wanting to buy one of them unless there are better ones out there, just hard to make a decision. Not really looking for any info in specific, I just like to read about F-body everything.

1. How to Build and Modify GM LS-Series Engines: Joseph Potak

2. 1993-2002 Camaro and Firebird Performance Handbook: Joseph Potak

3. How to Build High-Performance Chevy LS1/6 V8's : Will Handzel

Which one should I get?

I have read all three and honestly liked Potak's books a bit better. Handzel's are just a bit more dated, whereas Potak's are pretty new. All have some great information in them and are worth your time to read though. If you're wanting F-body specific reading, #2 would be the best choice IMO.

Im with Matt, I have all three and I like Potak's books a little better, but all three are worth having. No workshop is complete without a LS "How to" book.

LS1tech is like an interactive book. Who needs something you have to fold

Thats another thing I wondered, I've learned so much since I found this site. Its just amazing. Surfed here before I bought my T/A. I found my T/A on here. Drove and bought it in TX. Didn't waste money on stupid mods since there is so much data about everything on here. Its an electronic archive.
