Dear Buick performance enthusiasts, :shield:
Guess what, all this talk about performance enhancement is infectious . . . . . (surprise, surprise! :bgrin
However, not everyone has all the years of engine tinkering that lots of gurus on this forum has. If you are a Newbie, you don't even know what are the sort of things you should be asking about.
I sure would love to find a "Engine Performance Enhancement" 101 book, website, or something. Is there something folks around here would consider at least a "not too lousy" introduction to the sort of techniques that can be used to enhance an engine's performance and what are the trade-offs involved?
One book that's out there is: How to Build Max-Performance Buick Engines (S-A Design) (Performance How-To) Amazon has it here: http://www.amazon.com/Build-Max-Per...=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1294085024&sr=1-1 The reviews are mixed, but it seems like it might be okay for Newbie type. Any thoughts from this crowd? Is it worth trying to ferret out of the local library?
Thanks for all the good stuff about them wonderful Buicks! :shield:
Cheers, Edouard
