From Carburetors to Computers: Modern American Muscle Cars is a practical, no-nonsense guide to the fastest factory performance cars ever built-and how to make them even faster. Covering modern Camaros, Mustangs, Challengers, Chargers, and Corvettes, this book explains how American muscle evolved from mechanical simplicity to computer-controlled precision without losing its core mission: get to the other end first.

Built on real-world experience from racers, tuners, and builders, this is not a collection of magazine specs or marketing claims. It's a technical field guide focused on what actually works. Each platform is broken down into engine options, transmissions, suspension behavior, common modifications, realistic performance expectations, and known strengths and weaknesses. Whether you're working with an LS, LT, Coyote, or modern Hemi, you'll understand how these engines respond to upgrades and what it takes to push them from stock performance into serious territory.

The book also demystifies the technology that defines modern muscle-ECU tuning, forced induction systems, launch control, traction management, and data logging-translating complex systems into usable knowledge. Readers learn how to build reliable street-and-strip cars, choose the right upgrades, and avoid costly mistakes.

Written for owners, builders, and enthusiasts who want results-what to buy, how to modify it, what it will run, and what it will cost-this book also bridges classic and modern eras, showing how core performance principles still apply in a computerized world.

At a time when V8 production is ending and electrification is rising, this book captures the peak of internal combustion performance: 700-1,000 horsepower factory cars capable of 9- and 10-second quarter miles, driven to the track and back home again.
