Dyno-Proven GM LS1 thru LS7 Performance Parts by Richard Holdener If you like the hands on, real-world dyno testing we regularly bring you in CHP, this Car Tech book should be right up your alley. What do we like about this one? It's filled with dyno tests, dyno tests, and more dyno tests. From throttle bodies to camshafts to cylinder heads to superchargers and nitrous, LSx go-fast parts get put to the test. Everything is to the point--here's the part, here's what it did versus another part, here the full-color dyno chart. If you're into LS power, this one is a must read.--JN The small-block Chevy may still be the most popular high-performance engine of all time, but GM’s next generation LS-series engines are quickly taking over. Starting in 1997 with the C5 Corvette, GM performance cars and trucks have featured LS1, LS2, LS6, LS7, and other LS-series Gen III engines—and the high-performance aftermarket has taken off. To add power to any LS-series V-8s, you could add ported heads, a camshaft, a LS6 or aftermarket intake manifold, exhaust headers, a cold-air intake—the list goes on and on. But how do you know what will give you the power you want? (Outside of reading Chevy High Performance Magazine, that is?) Author Richard Holdener has filled Dyno-Proven GM LS1 thru LS7 Performance Parts with over 135 dyno tests and 350 photos so you can separate the power-building parts from the fluff. Chapters cover factory and aftermarket upgrades to the intake and exhaust systems, the cylinder heads and camshafts, stroker kits, and even superchargers, turbos, and nitrous.
