My car runs great and has decent acceleration. But i want more. What can i do to increase acceleration??

i have great results with porting the lower intake. i just port matched my L67 to the heads. dollar for dollar that was the best mod i have done to date.


a high flow cat, and the fwi will help as well.

Hate to sound like an amateur but what is FWI????? Do you know of any less major ways to improve acceleration?. Kinda tight on money right now.Edited by: BPA1986

fwi is fender well intake.


but to go faster, you have to move air faster, and or more efficiently.





the poting of the lower intake is the cheapest mod you can do for the most difference. if you can find a junk yard LIM to practice on, rather than styarting with your original, thats the best way to go. if it works ok for you, then you are good to go. if you mess it up, then its not that big of a loss, and most importantly, your car has no down time.

you can try a can of that crc maf cleaner. i recently did that for my bonneville, and it REALLY woke it up. it was like a whole new car afterwards. and very easy to do. mine was 3 screws and took a whole 5 minutes to remove, clean, and reinstall.
