Just what the title says!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Vizard delivers exactly what the title is all about. He helps you balance power & longevity against the pocketbook. He also substantiates his claims with his own companies dyno or flow data. Rebuilds range from a minimum of $600@300hp to a maximum of $3000@550hp. Add some nitrous (he talks about this too) and you have a 800hp engine for under $3500 bucks! Be warned, he is blunt and opinionated but backs up his claims.

This book is what I expected from David Vizard, honest and properly researched information. It's focus is primarily on $ and not the HOW and WHY that David normally goes into. If all you want to know is what you need to go fast, and you don't want to spend lots of cash and you DO have lots of time to spend building a motor - then this is THE book for you. If you have read DV's other books, then this is still worth buying because DV devulges how to get the best bang for the buck. You will find that this book summarizes a lot of what is mentioned in his other books - with the exception of the chapter on exhaust, there is some new stuff there. So if your hooked on DV like I am - go get it!! It's worth it! :)There are also 10 'recipes' in the back of the book - from 350hp to over 600hp. None costing over $3000.I also HIGHLY recommend DV's other books... very informative reading.
