No one told it to me, the guy asks for performance ideas, someone suggests those, so I ask how much horsepower it will give. I'm just learning, so I ask questions. And I learn more and more every day.

 

I agree I learn all the time and im old to this hahahaha..

oh well.. dosent hurt to ask!

 

Here's a suggestion from a newbie, how about a better camshaft? Probably under $300.

 

problem with a cam, is you're likely going to want to do a better roller-rocker setup, plus its a real pain to install (REAL pain), plus it may effect emissions, if thats a problem... however, something to think about, thats for sure..

 

please explain how changing out a driveshaft is going to make a motor produce more power....

thanks!

 

It doesn't exactly, it allows more of the power the motor already has reach the rear wheels. Since its 'rotating mass' it will allow the engine to spin up quicker if what the engine is spinning is lighter.

While a good mod, its really hardly noticable and probably not the best thing to do in the early stages, imo. You'd get more enjoyment from suspension mods (shocks ~$300 and subframe connectors $150-300) than an aluminum ds.

Cutouts are cheap and fun too, $50 installed.

If youre going to really get into modding the car, a good start would be the LSD as mentioned.

Oh and definitely lose those plugs, they'll cause knock retard at WOT and take away power.

 

This will get you started with some basic info.

lower rotational mass...

 

less rotational mass of an object not in the motor will allow the power the be transfered to the ground easier, it will not make the motor more powerful

does a set of skinny front tires add HP, NO!

i was just pointing out that baddboy1705 was spreading 1/2 truths
