The How to Hot Rod Volkswagen Engines was over my head.


4 out of 5 stars Very Informative   March 20, 2007
J. Walters (San Francisco, CA)
This book gives you exactly what it claims. All the best ways to improve performance on your VW. There is quite a bit for the average bug guy but has great technical information for the top mechanics. I wish there had been a bit more on improving fuel injected engines though.


4 out of 5 stars Information   January 9, 2007
Jami M. Anderson (Manitowoc)
Has alot of good valuable information to add HP to your VW. And what combinations work well togather. How to get mor bang for your buck. Downfalls is it is a bit out dated and doesn't have a section on step by step how to put togather a hot rod motor.


4 out of 5 stars A must-read   November 22, 2006
Paul M (Allentown, PA)
O.K. The book is archaic, BUT anyone who is seriously interested in the history of VW performance and understanding basic air-cooled fundamentals must read this. There are some sections of no practical use today, but many principles are timeless. Anyone who wants to understand the theory and physics of the engine should read this book. The knowledge base gained from reading this book can help prevent you from making the same mistakes your father or grandfather made when modifying their Beetle!


4 out of 5 stars supe your peashooter   August 6, 2006

Even though this book was written in the 70's and there are alot of performance upgrades now,compared to back then, it was still very informative to the basics of supin up your peashootin bug.
