Ways you squeezed more horsepower out...

Are we sure he's looking for a 10 second car?

More than he could afford pal.

we should have a meet over at tueretto's, i hear they have great tuna sandwiches.


...and some hot chick who works there

also! have you tried Lambo Doors?

mmmm you guys are so insightful!! On a side note, when boosting has anyone tried exhaust wraps?

This thread is so stupid it makes me laugh. I thought everyone knew that the only way to get noticeable hp gains was to increase fuel and air into an engine. Solid mounts and heat wraps..are you joking? Need Turbo, cams, more displacement, etc.

heat wraps do help. lol

Not worth it on a street car unless you have 1) serious heatsoak issues or 2) live in a climate without humidity. it traps a lot and will deteriorate the integrity of the exhaust... often rusting through, depending on age and material of the exhaust.

ceramic coating is a better solution for a street car, even though it's more expensive. The more heat you can keep in the exhaust the less it will cool off and slow down flow to the turbo. Just like normal, heat is energy. and if you keep that energy you will make more power.


there are much better ways(and more economical) to optomize your setup. better intercooler, porting and polishing(gasket matching or more), methanol injection, ducting work for the intake, heat shielding, airflow enhancement... a bunch of things. The most important would be your tune if you haven't already had someone tune it on a dyno... and tune for max horsepower, not just street tuning your AFRs and spark table.
