My 2 cents: For those starting a project of modding your car i think the first thing you need to do is "
think". Yes...think about what it is that you want to achieve. Think long term and what you exactly want in the end. (dont get something now, that youll later need to replace to reach another level of performance) Think, do you want high rpm power for the track (which most will never use) or do you want traffic light tire killing torque? After you think...then
READ. read articles from the experts. Theres tons of great articles out there that will teach you lots of great stuff. Buy books on performance bulding!!! Yea you wont learn the secrets of Nascar or the NHRA but you dont need to know those secrets for your Boulevard racer. After you educate yourself a little about what you want to mod then make a
list and remember to think
long term. Dont have $1600 for a great pair of aluminum heads? Save up becasue in the end it will be woth it, rather then wasting money on $900 heads to gain 40hp whenyou can save up and spend that other $700 on that great set of heads to make 80 HP. Dont worry that the headers will only give you 5hp now and make you lose 10 lbs of torque becasue when you put on those great heads, the headers will make a big diference you didnt feel before. Something else you need to know is that bigger isnt always better (too big a MAF, throttle body, carb isnt always the best) See what im getting at ?? Think long term and have a plan, stick to it and
be patient !!!
