Re: A Sensible Look At Tuning
Getting more air in is only part of the equation, getting the waste gasses out is also pretty important which is where a good quality manifold and straight through (or hi flow cat) exhaust system in conjunction with a good air induction kit or throttle bodies as some people use COMBINED with a chip tune to run on higher octane fuel will give best results without going to the extra expense of new cams, etc...
Forced induction will always give better gains but it's more expensive to add to a car that is normally aspirated and it's a horses for courses thing, some people prefer NA over FI.
Anyway the biggest restriction is the CAT, always will be, a good analogy is trying to breath with someone's hands wrapped round your throat, that's what it's like for your car.
Just me tuppence.
