Default Give more information!

If u have one of those "Ive got a car, how can i make it more powerful" questions.....

How about being a bit more specific...or u will get a barrage of general answers that while being 'helpful' may not meet ur needs.

Give as much info on your car/engine as u can along with your uses and what u want out of the upgrade so u can get some meaningful advice.

Simple Checklist (just a guide)
Make
Model
Year
Engine type/capacity
EFI or carby
transmision type
exhaust system
Whether its stock..or u've modded it.
What u plan to use it for
How much u want to spend $$$$$

how much u want to spend on it is probably the biggest question.

with an unlimited budget u can rebuild ur engine, balance it. port & polish it...do the cam...blueprint etc etc and go the whole performance upgrade. Then supercharge it...with NOS... hmmm now we are getting silly.

If u dont have millions of dollars...then more subtle less expensive options are at hand. eg changing to roller rockers, upsizing/re-jetting your carby...

If u ask the right question....u will often get the right answer.
