From Zero to Hero in 144 pages flat!
11 July 2000
Format:Paperback
What can I say, we race a NASCAR Street Stock bomber and we were a solid "B" main car, We were untouchable in the "B" Mains but we just couldn't make the transitition to the "A" Main. Until I boned up on some Holley tuning tips in this book, now we are an "A" Main runner weekly, we've made it as far up as a fourth place finish! Now that we have the carb under control we are fine tuning our suspension for our new found power and we are improving weekly! I HIGHLY recomend this book for ALL racers and car enthusiasts alike!

How to tune a Holley.
2 Jun 2006
Format:Paperback
This book includes information on how to select a carb, how each metering system works, mileage, street, race, off-road, marine and forced induction modifications and copious part numbers. The correct process is described to fix any problem, but most final numbers(70 or 72 main jet? 35 or 37 pump squirter? Etc) are determined by road or strip testing. Also includes exploded diagrams and a 54 picture teardown and reassembly of the 4150/4160.
I had no idea how many tuning possibilities there were on a Holley. I've learned that it is likely to take a fair amount of work to get a double pumper to run smoothly, get decent gas mileage, and produce power on the street. However it is possible and this book tells you how. Expect to invest in a jet kit, accelerator pump kit, and some drilling if you put a double pumper on your street car.

Completely useless
10 Dec 2009
Format:Paperback
I bought this book thinking it would teach me how to super tune and modify a holley carb. It does not. This book includes a history of Holley carbs, some old photos, some weak humor, and that's about it. There is not much tech in this book at all. There are some general, not very accurate, guidelines to follow when selecting a carb for your application (which can all be had for FREE by calling the Holley Tech line), and lots and lots of examples of what NOT TO DO, but that isn't helpful either. However, for someone trying to put together a carbed combination for a street car or a weekend racer, there is next to no useful information in this book, and there is none that isn't available elsewhere. Waste of time. Waste of money.
Ironically, there is more useful tech applicable to Holley carbs in "How to Tune and Win with Demon Carburetors" by Ray Bohacz that Amazon also sells. I'm not joking, its a good book, even if you have a Holley rather than a Demon.
