at the last Media Days event I went to (March I think). Mostly it's a write up of the DIY stuff he's done on his own car, so it's limited to what he's done so far.
I have yet to read it through, it's hard for me to take serious as it is predominately ad copy. There are statements I find disturbing since supposedly it was reviewed for technical accuracy, in chapter five the author states "...the standard torque spec for a T-40 Torx bolt is 40 ft-lbs..." there are many specifications that determine torque spec, such as size, grade, materials, etc, the fastener type is far down the list. For background reading Carroll Smith's Nuts, Bolts, Fasteners and Plumbing Handbook. The torque spec for the grade and size of the transmission bolt is 30 ft-lb. Applying 40 ft-lb to the soft heads of the gear box bolts with a Torx bit will surely wallow at least one.
The author states the torque spec for the differential ring gear bolt is 66 ft-lb because the bolts on the flywheel to crankshaft are similar. He lucked out on that one, the ring gear bolts can handle higher torque than that.
There are also omissions that could hinder or help, but I don't want to pick apart every detail.
