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.

Realize your Ford Coyote engine's full potential by using this detailed resource as a guide to select the right parts for the street or the strip. Veteran Ford writer and historian, Jim Smart, explains and highlights all of the latest and greatest options to achieve more horsepower and torque—and of course, faster quarter-mile times— in "Ford Coyote Engines: How to Build Max Performance." In this Revised Edition, now covering Generation III engines as well as Generation I and II, upgrades included are engine building techniques, cold-air induction kits, supercharger and pulley kits, better exhaust headers, fuel system and ECU tuning upgrades, and more. Both Ford and the aftermarket have produced an array of parts to squeeze even more power out of your Coyote. Ford introduced its first "clean slate design" V-8 engines in the early 1990s in Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models. Known as the "Modular" engine family, the 4.6L engines employed new overhead cams, multi-valve performance, distributor-less ignition, and more. This engine had new technology for its time, and it proved to be an extremely durable workhorse that logged hundreds of thousands of miles in police and taxi applications, as well as light-duty trucks. And, of course, hotter versions and even supercharged versions found their way into performance applications such as Mustang GTs and Cobras. By 2011, Ford wanted something hotter and more current, especially for its flagship Mustang GT and GT350 models—which were suddenly competing with new 6.2L LS3 engines in Camaros and 6.4L Hemi engines in Challengers. Enter Ford's new 5.0L "Coyote" engine with Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing (Ti-VCT); it was an evolution of the earlier 4.6L and 5.4L Modular designs. Although the new Coyote engine had increased displacement, it still had far fewer cubes than the competition. Despite less displacement, the Coyote could hold its own against bigger Chevy and Chrysler mills, thanks to advanced technology such as 4V heads with better port and valvetrain geometry. The Coyote is also Ford's first foray into technology that includes Ti-VCT and cam-torque-actuated (CTA) function, which is a fancy way of saying variable cam timing for an incredible power curve over a broader RPM range. Now, in Generation III, Ford has implemented a system using both Port and Direct Fuel Injection, taking advantage of the benefits of both systems in a single application. Even with all of this new technology, there is always room for improvement. If you're looking for even more power from your new Coyote, you'll find answers in the 160-page paperback from SA Design and CarTech. More than 580 color photos are included.

The VW Beetle (officially the Volkswagen Type 1) needs no introduction. Manufactured and marketed globally by Volkswagen from 1938 to 2003, more than 21 million were produced and sold around the world. Extremely popular in the U.S. and Europe during the 1950s and '60s, increasing competition from Japanese, American, and European manufacturers—as well as stiffening demands for better safety and emissions—contributed to a sharp decline in sales in the early '70s. The Beetle was manufactured in much smaller numbers in Germany until the late 1970s, when production shifted to Brazil and Mexico, where operating cost was a was a large factor in keeping the Beetle alive. While simple and fun, the Beetle had simply become outdated. Of course, the enthusiast market did not see it that way. Aficionados loved the simplicity in the design, as well as its aesthetics—and enjoyed tinkering with the mechanicals of their Beetles, Buses, Type 3 models, and Karmann Ghias. There is no shortage of options when customizing your Beetle; and for many, extracting as much performance out of their air-cooled flat 4 was the way to go. Not only does it remedy the issue of keeping up with modern traffic, but Beetles also respond really well to modifications and have a robust aftermarket to support them. In this 144-page paperback, "VW Air-Cooled Engines: How to Build Max Performance," VW veteran Dr. John F. Kershaw lays the groundwork for getting the most possible power for your desired use and application. Covered here are the various power levels and components to get you there. It's all included: rotating assemblies, cylinder heads, cams and the valvetrain, engine blocks, ignitions systems, fuel injection, carburetors and induction, exhaust, sources for parts, and even turbos and superchargers. Are you looking for just a little more power to keep up with traffic or maybe a streetable high-performance machine? Perhaps you're interested in a little street/strip action or even all-out racing applications. All of your options are examined in this book from SA Design and CarTech. And you'll love the 245 color photos!
