High-Performance Cams & Valvetrains: Theory, Technology, and Selection

In the book: High-Performance Cams & Valvetrains: Theory, Technology, and Selection, Billy Godbold, farm kid-turned-physicist, combines his quarter-century of experience with valvetrains at Comp Cams, Lunati, Crane Cams, and Edelbrock. He also provides insight on the techniques he uses with professional teams in NASCAR, NHRA, road racing, dirt track racing, offshore racing, and land speed racing, guiding you to think about any valvetrain system with his perspective. Often lighthearted and filled with analogies, this book endeavors to make complex concepts easy to understand without ever watering down important details. Specific configurations and applications are also covered, providing techniques and examples for optimizing camshafts and the valvetrain around intakes, headers, superchargers, turbochargers, carburetors, fuels, and modern EFI applications. If you are planning or building a classic hot rod, modern performance LS, Hemi, Coyote, or Godzilla, or competition engine for road racing, circle track, or drag racing, practical details show you how any valvetrain system should be modified to extract the most from every component and help you achieve your unique goals.
