Review: Great reference from a very intelligent author - Book was in great shape, being new that's what's expected. Cover material and paperstock are a little on the thin side, but whatever that's fine with me. Book is a plethora of knowledge, even for those well versed in the subject. It maybe even better for those people, frankly, because they can really follow along. Great description of intakes, carb operation, and methods to improve performance Good section on Holley Carbs, and a great section on Quadrajets. This book is an excellent compliment with Doug Roe and Cliff Ruggles quadrajet books, they really cover a lot In love David Vizard's books. He doesn't just give a technicians perspective (which is highly valuable in its own right), he gives a proper engineers perspective as well gives data to prove that he's not just blowing smoke. He really knows his stuff and, unlike most engineers, writes well and conveys his point clearly and articulately Review: Quadrajet info - Great info on Rochester Quadrajet carburetors ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,348,905 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #347 in Car Customization #394 in Automotive Engine Mechanics #447 in Vehicle Owner's Manuals & Maintenance Guides | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 100 Reviews | ## Images ![How to Build Horsepower, Volume 2: Carburetors and Intake Manifolds - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CyrdEoyBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great reference from a very intelligent author *by C***B on May 16, 2020* Book was in great shape, being new that's what's expected.

You must understand the elements of creating it and how to apply it to your engine. This book will explain why some combinations of manifolds and carb work together and more importantly why some don't! Before you buy any carb to help you go faster, you need this book! Take my word for it, there is irreplaceable knowledge in this book! David Vizard writes to give us the benefit of his decades of engine building experience and I buy everything he writes! If there are 2 books on the same topic, Vizard gets the nod. Buy this book and put it in your engine library, you will be glad you did! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/18275137-how-to-build-horsepower-volume-2-carburetors-and-intake-manifolds](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/18275137-how-to-build-horsepower-volume-2-carburetors-and-intake-manifolds) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-24*
