Whats the best book to help me with the CA performance test other than the BARBRI one.

I used a book by PASS (Practical Academic Support Services) titles "The Performance Test"

Loved, loved, loved Flemings PT Workshop.  Workshop is $400-500 and the CDs are only $105 w/book.  I used CDs (identical) and loved it.  Passed my first time and felt that I had a good solid plan for that part of the test.

Check out www.barexamdoctor.com - its a supplemental bar review that focuses purely on performance exams and you can do a performance exam online immediately and improve your score before feb bar.
