Is your car not performing as well as you want it to be? A few performance-boosting mods might be able to change that. Mods are the way to go for car owners who want to alter the way their car functions. That said, there are hundreds of mods to choose from. Which are the most economical and effective? Down below, we highlight four of the best mods for improving car performance so you can get your car up to speed in no time.
Cold Air Intake
Did you know that cold air is denser than warm air? The denser the air, the more fuel that can mix with it, and more fuel equals more power. Cold air intakes take advantage of this simple math, drawing cooler, free-flowing air into the engine for combustion.
Cold air intakes have a host of benefits. Apart from giving your car more power, they also boost fuel efficiency and ramp up engine noise for a clearer, crisper vroom.
Turbos and Superchargers
Turbos and supers are devices that force extra compressed air into your car’s combustion chamber, resulting in a more powerful combustion and a greater power output. Turbos and supers can lower fuel consumption, make your engine quieter, improve performance in high altitudes, and more! They’re widely regarded as one of the best upgrades you can make for performance.
Tires
Grip! You need grip! The more grip your car’s tires have, the better they can utilize their horsepower. Regular tires have great durability but poor grip, while racing tires have great grip but poor durability. Ideally, you want a tire that has both durability and grip. Performance tires provide the best of both worlds with their one-of-a-kind tread pattern, construction, and rubber compound,
Fuel Injection System
You can trace most performance problems back to a damaged or low-quality fuel injection system. Therefore, it makes sense that upgrading your injectors will alleviate many common performance woes. High-performance injectors can increase your car’s fuel flow rate, dramatically improving performance in the process.
If you’re installing other mods on your car, a new fuel injection system may even be a necessity. Experts recommend upgrading the fuel injection system after installing a turbo or supercharger, NOS, exhaust headers, cam, ECM, or MAF on your car so it can properly handle the new influx of power.
Those are our top four best mods for improving car performance. We know that modding can be expensive, so take it one mod at a time! Start with the mods you feel will have the greatest overall effect on performance, and build up from there.
