Synopsis: The heart of every hot rod is its engine -- the whatta you got under the hood? Whether youre into street machines, rods, or even sport compacts, everyone wants to know about the engine: how big, how much power, and how quick. For more than 50 years, editors at HOT ROD Magazine have been testing the limits of horsepower. Thankfully, theyve concluded that you can never get enough. Hot Rod Horsepower Handbook is a collection of technical articles chronicling their quest -- covering how to get the most torque from a low-rpm grunt monster or boost the aching scream of pure rpm-dependant horsepower. While these tips mostly cover small-block Chevy and Ford V-8 mills, many can apply to any powerplant. So its time to get wrenching. Book jacket.
