Recommended engine book?

I have these two. Both are written by the same guy. The black one seems to be very thorough and he tells you the things you may want to know ahead of time that you wouldn't learn until after your first build to make it easier.

The blue one has a lot of good info on creating the combo of parts you want for how you want your engine to run.

Both are worth the money i think

i have both. they each have interesting ideas and ways to do things. the first one is for more stock rebuilds. the second book talks more about different aftermarket items and how to approach a hp build.
