Books by Richard Holdener

The photos in this edition are black and white.Honda and Acura practically invented sport-compact performance, and racers have proven that the popular B-series engines can make huge horsepower numbers both boosted and naturally aspirated - but times are changing. The all-new K-series engines are now found in all Honda and Acura performance models, and are also becoming the engine swap of choice.

The photos in this edition are black and white.Offers complete results from over 2000 dyno pulls, and provides literally tens-of-thousands of dollars worth of dyno test results from all popular Honda performance parts. From air intake systems to exhausts, cams and cylinder heads to nitrous, turbos, and superchargers, it's all in here! There's even a chapter on engine build-ups along with the results from the author's tests on nearly every Honda model, from the single-cam DX to the 2.2L Prelude. Acura models are covered as well, from the 1.8L LS through the GSR and type R, all the way up to exotic NSX.

The photos in this edition are black and white.The 4.6- and 5.4-liter modular Ford engines are finally catching up with the legendary 5.0L in terms of aftermarket support and performance parts availability. Having a lot of parts to choose from is great for the enthusiast, but it can also make it harder to figure out what parts and modifications will work best. Building 4.6/5.4L Ford Horsepower on the Dyno takes the guesswork out of modification and parts selection by showing you the types of horsepower and torque gains expected by each modification. Author Richard Holdener uses over 340 photos and 185 back-to-back dyno graphs to show you which parts increase horsepower and torque, and which parts don''t deliver on their promises. Unlike sources that only give you peak numbers and gains, Building 4.6/5.4L Ford Horsepower on the Dyno includes complete before-and-after dyno graphs, so you can see where in the RPM range these parts make (or lose) the most horsepower and torque. Holdener covers upgrades for 2-, 3-, and 4-valve modular engines, with chapters on throttle bodies and inlet elbows, intake manifolds, cylinder heads, camshafts, nitrous oxide, supercharging, turbocharging, headers, exhaust systems, and complete engine buildups.
