Help on Quick HP!!

RE: Help on Quick HP!!
dont forget a lightweight flywheel. Not that it will give you more HP, but it will free up some.
You could also go for cams.
or get some much lighter wheels... less rotating mass means the car is easier to accelerate.
Weight is the enemy. I say drop weight first through pullies, flywheels, and wheel/tite combos.
Then work with a CAI, a nice header, a good exhaust, and drop one of the cats.
Dont forget to go with a nice fuel rail, and some better injectors, and a FPR. Get a walbro fuel pump.
A nice MSD kit and wires, and you should be looking at, at least a 20whp gain on the dyno. Not that you actually gained that much, but by dropping all that wieght, you allow the parts to make more power.
You could also have your throttle-body polished, or just get a bigger one. Dont forget you can have your head ported and polished. Drop your powersteering completly, what do you need that for anyway.
Just remember, make your car lighter to make it faster. Nothing will give you performance you can see in every area like dropping weight, and nothing is as cheap. most times its free, stuff like removing the tar under the carpets, or pulling the rear seat. (who rides back there) or taking out those 200lb subs you have hanging out in your trunk.
Weight kills speed, and hp. Drop the weight man.
