Best Small Block Book

Hi, I'm going to have to rebuild my 79 L82 manual vette engine some time soon and I would like to increase the poor power output. Obviously I can change cams, manifolds, carbs etc but would like to read up on what are the best parts to put together to make a street strip set up that will also have a squirt of nitrous at the strip as well.
What books/manuals would be ideal for this.
Cheers for any advise.

there are things to learn in each,,,tough call on just one
