boosting the power

[adiandvic]

Being a new Chim driver Iam curious to know what can be done to a 4.0L to increase the BHP a little without massive costs as the budget went on buying the car in the first place. Any ideas??. I have looked at tuning on a rolling road etc...

Due to the on going roasting i am currently receiving on the Griff forum, i refuse to get involved in this

Tuning on a rolling road is a good one or if you just want to make the car quicker without changing the engine do some driver training.. no point having extra BHP if you don't know what to do with it.

Cheers,

Mark Adams setup, or ACT plus Mark Adams setup. Or trade up to a faster car (not a popular answer but often the most sensible approach to be honest). Do consider whether your hard-earned would be better spent on driver training, suspension and brake upgrades though. They may not improve your drag race times but will make more difference in everyday driving, they are also more acceptable to insurers than power increases are.

Cheapest way is to go to a rolling road that over-reads

Get a 4.5 or a 5. Cheapest way...

What do you expect if you go there announcing that you have more power than the 4.0L Griff boys ?

Re upgrading a 4.0L i would suggest that if you are happy with 10% increase go for it, if you want a serious increase go for a bigger engine.
some details on the Griffith forum

perhaps i should rephrase the question a little. How do I ensure that all of the listed BHP is available. Isnt a 4.0L 240bhp, what happens if it isnt, can the car be helped a little etc with air filters etc...

to answer the question gaz I dont actually want a bigger engine 4.0L is enough just want to make sure its BHP is available,
