Got power

Some bolt-on engine modifications will unleash more power and torque, which will give improved acceleration, quicker passing and increased towing capacity. By unlocking your engine's full potential and improving its efficiency, under normal driving conditions you may even get better fuel economy!

Typical bolt-on performance parts include high-performance air intakes, headers and exhaust systems, hotter ignitions and electronic upgrades for computer-controlled vehicles. You can do them all at once or part-by-part.

How to bolt-on more power and improve your vehicle's performance

To improve power and efficiency, you need to get more air and fuel into and out of your engine.

Do-It-Yourself and save!

• Switching to a performance air filter allows more air to flow freely to your engine.
• A cold-air intake system will route cooler outside air into the engine. Colder air is denser and makes more power.
• A cat-back high-performance exhaust system will add power by reducing backpressure in the exhaust. Your vehicle will sound much more powerful too.
• Computer controlled engines can really benefit from re-programming or 'chipping'. They will advance timing, optimise fuel delivery and change shift points on automatic gear boxes.
• Performance exhaust headers improve the flow of exhaust gasses out of your engine and reduce exhaust backpressure. Headers provide impressive results when teamed with cat-back exhausts.
• Aftermarket ignition systems can provide a hotter & quicker spark. An electronic ignition kit eliminates breaker points on older vehicles.
• Another bolt-on performance option is a supercharger system. They come in a variety of styles, yet this centrifugal bolt-on is one of the easiest to install, and gives additional power.
  

To achieve optimum results from your bolt-on performance parts, they need to work together. An ideal game plan would be to add a performance filter, then switch to synthetic lubricants, followed by installing a 160-degree thermostat, and advance the ignition timing.

For only a small investment and minimal effort you should see big improvements. Then you can move onto the bigger modifications like headers, cat-back exhausts and a cold-air intake system. You will find that the results are highly rewarding.
