5 Performance Upgrades

 

Cold Air Intake

Adding more air – and cooler air – to the air to fuel ratio increases the available horsepower. Most electronic control modules can adjust for a cold air intake without adding any other hardware or software upgrades, so this is one of the least expensive ways to get a couple more horsepower under the hood.

Performance Software

You can tune your electronic control module to give you more horsepower. You need to add ECU tuning software to your vehicle, and you’ll need a laptop computer to make adjustments. Depending on the software you use, you can improve the parameters for the transmission, engine power, fuel efficiency, and more.

Performance Exhaust

Adding a larger exhaust means more exhaust can get out of the engine. The engine expels the exhaust faster, too. In most cases, you need to change the exhaust manifolds and everything else to the exhaust tips. Adding an H-pipe or an X-pipe in place of the OEM crossover for dual exhaust, high-flow catalytic converters, long-tube headers, and large diameter pipes all help. You should also replace the mufflers. You can get several types, though you need to be mindful of noise ordinances. Flowmaster makes a one-chamber muffler that is quite loud (and sounds beautiful when paired with a domestic V8).

Fuel Injection Upgrades

You can upgrade carbureted engines to electronic fuel injection, and you can upgrade OEM throttle bodies to big-bore throttle bodies. You can even upgrade to multi-port fuel injection. Depending on which way you go and what you start with, the conversion could run from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars.

Ignition Upgrades

Upgrading your vehicle’s ignition also increases horsepower. Two of the more common upgrades include MSD ignition and Jacobs ignition. Our experienced performance upgrade technicians can advise you on the best ignition upgrade for your application.
