i own it and i'm currently reading it. I've read from the front cover to about 1/2 way into the crankshaft section of it. I'd have to give it 10 thumbs up as well. I've got another book called "How to build small block chevy for the street" and it's got a lot of good information in it. I'm planning to read both of the books and compare them. David Vizard has a lot of very good information that is proven. A++ in my grade book.
