Tired of the norm? Ready to amp-up your ride's power and become fast & furious-or even faster & more furious? If so, follow these 5 tips and transform your ride into a speed demon.
Air Induction
Most cars are manufactured with a stock are intake which limits the amount of air pulled into your engine. Your ride deserves unrestricted are flow, and you can increase the amount of cool air with an aftermarket intake from a company like K&N.
Power Chips
Electronic fuel injection is controlled by your ride's onboard computer. So, the best way to up the power in this case is with a power chip. There are many companies that have created power chips to enhance your engine's performance. Power chips can be preprogrammed or modified when you buy a chip. Power chips help you achieve better fuel mileage, increase horsepower and allow for more towing power.
Power Programmer
Need something as easy as plug 'n' go? Try out a power programmer. They boast easy installation with a simple attachment to your ride's OBD-II port. Power Programmer's boost horsepower and torque, and some performance tuners improve MPGs. Power programmers are the easy way to tap into your onboard computer system without all the complicated installation.
Exhaust System
Although not the first thing people think of when trying to make their ride faster, improving the pathway for exhaust to escape your vehicle can really increase performance. Try replacing your stock exhaust with a performance exhaust; they usually are longer and bigger, to allow for unrestricted pathways for the spent exhaust gases to exit.
Turbochargers
Did you know that you can install a turbocharger on your gas powered engine for increased performance? Yep, you can. It auses the spend gasses to spin an impellor to build a positive pressure of fresh air which forces air into the intake to mix with the fuel. Although this upgrade is a bit pricey it definitely can enhance your ride quickly!
And, once you've got the power side done, it's time to get "furious." Look into aftermarket body kits and remember that a car is just a car until you have a wicked spoiler on it. Right?
