[patullose]

Hey guys, last night me and a mate went to the track and i lost in a race to my mate...and now im never going to hear the end of it, I want to race him again but i just need a little more power..But from where? we where pretty much side by side the whole race just he was that little more in front of me and started pulling away at top end ...

i Own a VR series 2 How Can i fix this..How can i get more acceleration out of my car and better top end?

Thanks guys
Cheers

Racing on the street is illegal dude. Good thing you were racing on the track.

did you manually shift if not do so it will hold a little longer but practise before you race again so you get it perfect

take all the weight possible out of your car ..... including passengers spare wheel and jacks etc anything that doesnt need to be in there take out.

make sure your car is warm aswell this will help a little

a cold air intake will help (cheap way out is to wack a pod on the end of the pipe just before the airbox and get rid of the airbox..

get som1 in your car and get the to put the acellerator all the way to the floor and make sure that thebuttefly in the throttle opens as far as it can... if not then tighten the cable accordingly.

and if you take of the throttle body and the elbow piece theres a bellmouth (like a little plastic cup) take this out for better air flow...

thats about it for little to no cost mods you could do to get you the advantage.

Nar wasnt on the street mate...It was on a track on a private property

What would work better

Cold Air Intake
Pod
or,
Both

 

[HDT_aero]

a pod in my opinion

cold air intake in my opinion

a pod will suck hot air from the engine bay.

 

[HDT_aero]

a pod flows better unless you wanna buy a cai and then buy an expensive pannel filter


but i dont get any heat issues with my pod and i dont even have a heat shield

not to mention the shape of the airbox entry restrics flow aswell and you can get a nice oversized chrome pipe for a pod
