Big smallblock power..Turbo?

hey guys ive heard of the corky bell book before and have heard from many that it is a real good read...but I am most interested in blow through setups...Is the Hugh MacInness book a good read as well? or is only the carb section good? my biggest difficulty in understanding everything is trying to actually pick a turbo(s) that i would use...theres so much math involved (which i have always really sucked at)
