How to Build Max Performance Pontiac V8s (S-A Design)

Reviewed by H. Martin on 2010-01-26  •  Reviews (14)  •  Read Full Review

I was kind of disappointed in this book. This was recommended to me and I thought, this would be great so my husband could look things and troubleshoot problems.
It was more of the history of the engine. Very limited details for instructions on "how to".

If you looking for a more hands on book, I would not recommend this.

Editorial Review :: Have you been searching for a book dedicated strictly to Pontiac performance? Look no further - How to Build Max-Performance Pontiac V-8s is the one you need. From the 287 to the mighty 455, from Tempests to Tri-Powers, this book covers it all. Pontiac performance began back in 1955 with the mid-year introduction of a 4-barrel induction package. From there, the performance people at Pontiac upped the ante year after year, putting together performance packages for the 326, 389, 400, 421, and 455-cubic-inch engines. From Tri-Powers and Ram Air packages to factory cast headers, Pontiac has a performance and racing history as memorable and unique as any. Author Jim Hand begins with a year-by-year timeline, tracing Pontiac performance packages from 1955 through 1979, and then moves on to chapters on bottom end parts, and cooling, oiling, and ignition systems. He has also included special sections on the available carburetors including Tri-Powers, Q-Jets, Thermoquads, and AFBs, as well as detailed info on head porting and exhaust systems, featuring quantitative flowbench and drag-strip results. If you want to increase the performance of your Pontiac, How to Build Max-Performance Pontiac V-8s will show you how.

ACT Advanced Clutch Technology T022X Xtreme Performance Pressure Plate, For Select Geo, Pontiac, And Toyota Vehicles

Reviewed by None  •  Be The First to Review This Item



Editorial Review :: ACT's performance pressure plates offer many advantages over stock pressure plates. The unique single diaphragm design maintains the proper pressure plate geometry, which provides a smooth and precise feel that is positive and firm, extends clutch life, and increases clamp load. This Xtreme model increases clamp load 50-120%, with a moderate to stiff pedal feel that makes it a good choice for both street and race use. The all new (not "re-manufactured") components are exact engineered for each application and manufactured from quality materials using dedicated tooling. An exclusive four stage heat treating process is performed on all diaphragms, and the induction hardened bearing contact area promotes extremely long wear life. Drive straps and rivets securely locate the contact face to the cover for quiet, trouble free operation with no loose pieces to wear or rattle.
