Re: Books that spread bad info and can not be corrected.....

Not to be to critical to a critic, however it should be noted that 
Performance American Style was first produced in 1971. Hind site is always 
20/20 and to critize a publication 35 yrs old by stating that the reason 
piston manufacturer's don't make pistons because of the overbore statement 
paints a broad brush. The reason manufacturer's may not have produced 
different pistons could be as simple as a lack of demand, and since the 
demise of AMC, each year that demand dwindles.

I agree a modern document would be beneficial, but to refute claims made by 
a manufacturer would require extensive field testing, were would this come 
from, surely not shade tree mechanics such as myself.
