How to Build New Hemi Performance on the Dyno: Optimal Parts Combos for Max Horsepower (Performance How to Sa Design)

Good book. Very informative.

This book is unlike any of the other engine books I have (about 10 Vizard, Madigan, and a few "one of" authors) in that there's very little narrative per chapter. Holdener instead makes few changes to the shortblock, documenting those changes briefly, and treats each component of the longblock separately. Heads, each of the various types of intakes, headers, nitrous, and turbos all get their own chapters, with dyno runs showing how the pieces perform comprising almost the entire book.If you want torque, the New Hemi has plenty as is, and there is distinct winner amongst all the choices of intake available if more is desired.The thought of more power available in a physical size comparable to, and interchangeable with the LA Mopar series (they use the same bellhousing pattern, save one bolt, similar to the LS Chevy) makes the New Hemi a tempting item for a swap. This is the reason I bought the book, to see what could be done.

Very informative

This book is full of information if you are needing to tune any size Hemi motor. It has dyno information with different add-ons on each size motor. A great book.

Wealth of knowledge that is backed up with real Dyno numbers.

A lot of dyno results, to help you build the best Mopar motor for your budget.

Good deal

The book is basically a compilation of dyno tests using mostly 5.7 based hemi engines. Lots and lots of good data can be gleaned from this book with a little critical thinking about your specific application.This book is not a how to book necessarily. You won't find any information or tips/tricks about Hemi engine assembly, or much about parts interchangeability between the different displacement versions. What you fill find though are a series of well conducted, semi-scientific tests that you can use to learn a lot about the Hemi engine family.My one suggestion for improvement would be to incorporate more OEM part swapping data. For instance, a test of a 392 cam in a 5.7 vs stock. Just incorporating more budget minded builds would be appreciated. That being said, if you are on a budget, this is still useful. They do multiple tests with a Comp 268h cam, which is very similar to a 392 cam in specs, so you can glean some information from that.Overall, great book to have on the shelf, very happy with my purchase, hope Mr. Holdner published more on the new hemi!

Covers a lot of information on the newer hemis

All good

Very informative.
