But be careful about how you raise compression. Compression and cam selection go hand in hand because cam selection also affects cylinder pressure or working compression. Your engine builder can best advise you on compression and cam selection. Both have to be chosen in a spirit of cooperation, so you get power without damaging your engine. Compression beyond Watch fuel and spark curves while you are bumping compression.
However, high octane, smog-legal unleaded fuel is available in five-gallon cans if you have the budget for it. Think about this for a minute: Your engine actually produces more power than it delivers. Consider the power lost to internal friction, components that consume untold amounts of power just to move them. And consider how much heat energy is lost to the atmosphere that does nothing for power. Fifty percent out the tailpipe and 25 percent via the cooling system. Talk about waste. When you go with low-friction components like roller tappets and rocker arms, you gain, but you also spend.
Low-tension piston rings and more liberal clearances mean some sacrifice of durability. Temperature directly affects pressure. The product reduces induction turbulence, which is why you can expect an increase in horsepower. Think of it as trying to rapidly draw iced tea through a cocktail straw. High-performance engines need fuel and plenty of it.
Abrupt transitions and sharp edges in the intake create turbulence, which causes horsepower loss. Cold-air intakes also as the name implies draw cooler air from outside the car engine compartment. Cooler air is denser, again resulting in the computer increasing the amount of fuel, helping the engine increase horsepower.
More air going in naturally means more air needs to exit the engine. A performance exhaust comprises everything installed after the catalytic converter, including the resonator, exhaust piping and muffler.
Performance exhausts are typically designed with larger-diameter parts compared to the stock exhaust, allowing greater airflow. Even so, a stock catalytic converter can restrict airflow and reduce horsepower, making it a prime target for an upgrade.
A high-flow catalytic converter features larger openings on either end, increasing airflow and thus increasing horsepower. But what is it? What is horsepower and how do we get more of it in our car engines? So to break it down for you, horsepower, a unit of power to define the rate at which work is done. In other words, the power that a horse gives when pulling, or essentially the power needed to raise pounds a distance of one foot in one second, or the power needed to move 33, pounds one foot in one minute.
Where did the phrase horsepower come from? Exactly where you might think… from horses. And a man named James Watt. Who used to stare at mill horses all day walking in circles, powering the mills. He then did more math to come to an equation that a mill horse could push 32, lbs one foot in one minute which he later just rounded up to 33, lbs which he equated to the power of one horse. The picture sort of ruins the cool-factor.
So now that we know the origin of the energy unit, how do we get more of it? To put it plainly, your car engine is one big air pump with a series of deliberate combustions that push as much air in and out of as possible. The colder air is, the denser it is. Meaning the more air per volume. The bottom line is the better, deeper, cleaner, faster and efficient your car can breath in and out, the more potential you have for increased horsepower.
The longer the driver goes without a tune up, the slower the car will run. Take care of regular oil changes and the engine will stay clean and free of any issues. Upgrading to a high performance synthetic engine oil will help reduce friction in your engine and a slight increase in horsepower. It also helps in reducing your cars engine heat.
If the car is older, chances are the exhaust system is a bit rusty. A brand new system with high flow catalytic converter is surely going to boost the horsepower as well as give the driver a better running car.
This can be an expensive option, but it will really pay off in the long run. Remember, all pieces that are installed will help to make the car run longer with fewer issues. Performance chip tuning is also popular amongst car tuning enthusiast.
This will unleash the reserve horsepower of your car engine from factory default.
