Default little things that help horsepower/acceleration...

most people will ask what can i do to make my quad/car run faster? everyone will reply with an exhaust
system or a turbo...but there are a lot of 'little' things that you can do to make ur car/quad quicker...
not all of these apply to quads
1.) if you replace your head gasket with a thinner one you will get better compression
2.) if you lower the oil pan on your engine (not sure which types...generally v8s) youll get quite a bit of horse
3.) weight is key...if you remove a few things ie seats, dash panels, replace body with carbon fiber etc. it makes a huge difference
4.) replacing the flywheel with a lighter one...the engine revs quicker due to less strain
im sure there a lot more...these are just a few of the things that i have learned since i started getting into cars..if i am wrong in any way let me know...and if you got some more things post them!!! i am always eager to learn....this will be interesting [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

if you add stickers, expect 2-3 more hp depending on size

Bump your timing a few degrees advanced and run super. Colder thermostat, less heat= more power
