2.0 out of 5 stars Too technical, covered stuff too professional and expensive!, 3 Sep 1999
By A Customer
I own a 1992 Integra GSR and have been working on Hondas for about 4 years now. Joe's book was way too high-tech for the average home mechanic who tinkers in his spare time. I don't have access to the high tech equipment Joe referred to, I've only had limited dyno time (at $75 an hour) and the stuff he covered is never going to be attempted by the average Honda enthusiast. Most of his statements were so vague and unconclusive (e.g. AEM intake: did he recommend it? Who knows?) There were very few things I could actually apply to my own Honda Civic (at the time) and eventually I just gave the handbook away. The book is a waste, unless your Peter Yem or Bill Gude...

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book with lot's facts and solid technical info., 8 Jul 1999
By A Customer
Pettitt's book is full of great very complete technical information. His examples from actual racers/engine builders validate his writting which is well laid out and easy to follow. Recommended for any Honda/Acura owner interested in top performance.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little dated, but has useful information, 11 April 1999
By A Customer
A lot has been happening in the Honda/Acura world since this book was written. Though it has useful techniques, newer ones are out that you have to locate through the internet or talk to knowledgeable sources at reputable shops. In one example, they spent a lot more money building up their Civic where parts of today can get the hp done for cheaper, like I did on mine. It was good to read, at least for me, to learn more about concepts I wasn't to sure about. So, it definitely is a plus for background info and terms. It makes a good reference
