I saw the one on amazon.com by Jefferson Bryant, but I read some reviews and they seem unfavorable. Do any of you guys have some recommendations on some books with GOOD info in them? Like little speed tricks and what not, not just explaining "the Buick 350 was made from 1968 to 1980" general info type stuff that's easilly googleable.
No such book out there. BUT............ in a galaxy far far away(Canada) in a time long long ago there was a champion that vowed to write such a book and to this day we still have to hurry up and wait for that day!
You have all the information, more up to date, and from multiple sources right here for the asking. No book required. JW
All joking aside, to be fair to that champion in a galaxy far far away, he is waiting on a certain manufacturer of aftermarket Buick parts to get his engine together, so I blame them more than our champion on the long awaited delay of the book.
Lol thanks guys... I was about to send the book to print when TA anounced the upcoming alum heads so I am waiting for them... Then i will have the most bad assed 350 ever built and I can complete my testing and release the book.
Well hurry it up. My wife is getting tired of dusting around the empty spot on the coffee table where that book is supposed to go. Jim
Sean, can the book be released as an E-book only with the E-book upgradable after the rest of the book is done and the printed version comes out?
That is possible but i am only offering it as a paperback book no "e-book" is planned... I already have the publishing deal signed, I just need to get my R&D testing done and it will go to print. It will be in Chapters, and Amazon on line, the price will be pretty reasonable.
The first book could have been "Super Tuning Twin Buick 350 Turbos" that could have happened 10 years ago when it was available. You can never just write one book since there is always an upgrade to the system within 5 years.
SUPER looking forward to the bolt on gains. Take off iron heads, bolt on AL heads. See what the difference is. And all the specs as well.
I bought that book. Meh... Probably learn more by downloading the TA Performance catalog....or reading the threads on this forum. Can't wait for it to be released Sean!
Thanks, as of the few folks on here that have met me in person you know how dedicated I am to the whole Buick SBB deal. The way I see it I have earned a publishing deal and when the time is right I will release the book. There is no use publishing a book when the alum heads are about to be released. Plus I am not just bolting stock TA heads onto a crappy engine. I am having my heads max effort ported and put on the very best 350 ever built. Along the way there will be more mild builds documented with the owners consent but lets go big or go home.
What I did was Xerox as many threads as I could...I have over 13 notebooks of info that runs the gamit. I refer to that as My V8 Buick encyclopedias. Mr.Jay B.Britt,Jr.
By the way...I have Jefferson Bryant's book, as well as Steven Dove's book. I refer to V8 Buick.com for informative information to Buick related info. I like the interaction between Members.
Yeah, Gary...it is interesting...! Sometimes even inflammatory. But as long as we keep it clean...it's fun. Like the thread about "jokes"....I contributed...I want to tell You that: V8Buick is the best group of guys and gals that are linked to Buicks. I am privileged to be among You all.
