I don't think DV knows how to write a dud book. In his typical style, this book is a great source for all things induction related. This book is great for someone who has little knowledge on the subject, as it clearly explains all the fundamentals. It is also just as valuable for the more experienced engine builder/racer as it contains loads of info on carb mods, manifold design and mods, mixtures, atomization, etc. It also dispells many myths that do nothing except slow you down. Rather than writing books based on popular and expert opinions, DV's books are based on hard scientific fact. He does the work, and he has the results. Knowledge is horsepower! With DV's books, I've never gone wrong. On a horsepower per dollar basis, his books are the best investment you'll ever make.
