The lineup: All books have some overlap to stand alone but their focus is different. BOOK 1 focuses on building the traditional Pontiac engine including aftermarket component part numbers used on actual builds. BOOK 2 focuses on putting together a combination to fit your needs and includes 5 different styles of build for each displacement of 350, 400, 428, 455/aftermarket 3” main crank to make a 455+” with a 400 block, 461” stroker w/BBC dimensioned crank, and 488” with 4.5” stroke crank. Includes part numbers. BOOK 3 focuses on the the REASON why a Pontiac performs the way it does compared to the big 3. Includes dyno sheets and analysis of actual builds. BOOK 4 is a combination of all 4 previous books and includes a piston position comparison between a 6.625” rod and 4.21” stroke crank and a BBC dimensioned crank with 6.8” rod and the REAL AND ONLY REASON to buy a BBC dimensioned stroker assembly. Also includes a handy .050 cam duration selection chart using drivability and performance for 350, 400, 428, 455/461, and 488.

SOUND UP! I’m a fan of cubic inches... https://www.amazon.com/Pontiac-Speed-Reading-from-Sandoval-Performance-5-book-series/dp/B0BRP4KH1S It makes everything so much easier. When building for street performance and/or cost effectiveness, building a larger engine should be considered because it doesn’t cost any more (or very little) to over the price of a smaller engine. Yes, that’s a basic fact. But for a little more than the price of some 475HP aluminum headed, roller cammed “professionally built” strokers, you can build your own 600HP Pontiac stroker for the same or less money.

Broken down so even the newcomer can understand what goes into a 350-600+ HP Pontiac!
