How To Build & Modify Chevrolet Small-Block V-8 Camshafts & Valvetrains
  For performance and horsepower, it all comes down to one thing: your camshaft. It doesn't matter if you have trick flowbench ported cylinder heads and a rock-strong bottom end if your cam is not the right one for your engine.
Camshafts are also one of the least understood elements with many variables and misinformation surrounding their use. This book gets rid of all the smoke and mirrors. It gives you the background information, test comparisons, detailed examination of profiles, lobe centerline angles, and cam timing to help you select the right stuff.
Here is professional advice on camshafts, rocker arms, lifters, valve springs, retainers, and more—complete with over 300 step-by-step how-to photos and test charts.
