Here is what every camaro owner should have in their collection. I can awnser alot of questions on this board by looking info up in these magazines and catalogs.

One of my Freinds found about 200 of those assorted mags behind a dumpster. He said he went back there to take a **** and there were these mags that were in a box. Lucky SOB!! the bad part is that he cant tell a piston from a valve cover, and he wont give me at least 50 of the mags!

Remove carcraft from the list and in it's place put Hot Rod. They are owned by the same publishing company but for some reason only Hot Rod has good material...go figure.
Also remove RKSport from the list. That company isn't worth dealing with unless you own a 4th gen. Even if you were shopping for wheels I wouldn't consider them.
Chiltons is not completely worthless. I used it during my engine swap and I must say that it helped to answer 2 out of 13 questions we had ! Those numbers aren't made up either. I keep track on the inside cover to see how frequently the book has helped me. If anything, the circuits is always helpful so you don't fry your multimeter!
This might sound funny but I have just about every issue of Summit, Jegs, Classic Industries (Next Gen also), JCWhit, Crutchfield, Craftsman, Englishtown Raceway, and Atco Raceway from the past 3 years! I need to sit down and rip out those centerfolds and junk the rest of em...no room in my closit for cloths.
