Re: Performance books

There aren't a lot of books that will teach you what you need to know. A lot of that stuff you need to learn hands on. I'd suggest taking some general auto repair courses at a junior college to get you started. In order to make something fast it has to run properly first.

Re: Performance books

The description is interesting, at least.

Unfortunately it's not an industry that's going to give you brownie points for watching TV or reading books on your own, though.
