Cheap labor and "free" tech info? I think not.

Cool, I figured you would pick one up. Let me know if there is anything in particular you found interesting, I like the feedback and it may help me to improve my document writing in the future.

Good deal!

Thanks!

You found my other one on Amazon too? I could not find it, I'll take another look. Cool you got it straightened out, it would suck to wait a year for a book that is out now!

Thanks! LOL, I wish I could have received some free parts! I did get 1 piston and ring set from Wiseco for the assembly images - I've been trying to get the other 7 to no avail. *cough*briannutter*cough*

Thanks StevieD, it def. has a lot of information.

I believe you will find the book to be really informative. If you don't like reading, you can probably pick up a few things from the images and captions, then go back over the text later. I -think- I kept the chapter text lively enough to keep people interested into reading further.

I just received mine from Amazon last night...

mate, I couldn't put it down, my Mrs was yelling at me "put the book down and eat your dinner"...

Great pics, great text, good juicy/meaty content... thanks...

Cheers,

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you like it.

Its pretty cool that it is ending up in book stores, I have not found it locally yet. Just like any tool in the garage, the manual should fit right in.

You can still read it, the pictures are quite a distraction I know!

That is what I aimed to achieve. I'm glad it hits the mark. I tried to write it for 99% of the people who would be building engines in the future - nothing crazy technical without explanation.

Thanks!

That is a funny experience: "put that book down and..." -insert any "honey do's" here- Similar to what I went through during the writing process, "put that book down and take out the trash", I can't count how many times I heard that one. I'm safe mentioning that on 'tech since my wife doesn't visit.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm happy with the amount of content that I was able to fit, I actually had to cut back a few things to keep it the size it is.

If you guys who bought from Amazon get some free time, can you post up a quick review? I believe you just have to go to the book's page while being logged in and it should have a review link.

Thanks for all the comments, they are appreciated!

Mine came today. Thanks a ton and I am very impressed so far. Good job Joseph.

BTW I don't see any shameless plugs. I do see a guy using what is available to him as a reference for the topic at hand. Which I'm sure anyone doing the same kind of book would do as well.

Glad you like it!

Thanks Mr. Manalishi! I'm glad you can read it for what it is: a How-to manual. Some people (P.C. version) think I had a prior hidden agenda tagging along, but you said it best in the above quote. I appreciate your honest feedback.



Not directing this at anyone but I was told the "plug" reference was due to me mentioning the results of a LS1 Camaro I myself built for TSP in one of the image captions. I wish I had more data available for other setups, but due to image copyright laws I cannot just gather random images from a google search or copy/paste information from websites without legal permission - they must be obtained using the proper channels. I used what I myself had available with firsthand experience without jumping through hoops or buying the other setups myself, I requested sample dyno graphs for all discussed parts and used everything submitted FWIW.

It's way better.

I got the book recently as well. Everything I have seen thus far has been top notch with regard to the book, the writing, and the overall layout of the book.

I am still in the process of reading the book. While I have not had a chance to go over every single word or page in the book I will say that the book covers all the important point, and has good information related to every apsect of the LSx engine. I would highly recommend it for anyone's bookshelf...

As soon as I am done I will post up an ammended review. But, as I said, so far its definitely thumbs up.
