Hi guys just a question about decals we all know that they can increase the horse power of a car but what about viper stripes, has anyone any idea what kinda power increase i can expect from my new strips?

I was hoping for around 15 bhp more but ive no experience with these mods can anyone help me?

The Americans normally do this to cover up an ordinarily plain dull motor so the only question would be WHY

Pffft, you only get 15bhp with a single white stripe (didn't Max Power teach you anything?!)

The fact you've fitted 3 colours means you should be mixing it up with Veyron and Koenigsegg drivers as the average increase is around 600bhp for a green stripe alone...

Wow didnt know it increase it by that much cheers Tommy. Best £13 ive spent modding her in terms as bhp per pound :cheese:

Also, remove the airfilter and airbox then stretch a stocking over the MAF. Another instant 40bhp increase. I learned this from an 18yr old with his hat on backwards on McDonald's car park so it must be accurate...

 

[dsp78]

Cool ive already removed the airbox. Better try taking the cone filter off when i find a stocking to replace it with

Door cards? who needs them? really and seats, a good old early 90s school chair will do you... Imagine that light chassis...

Pump the tires up too around 100psi, that is another 5 second off the 0.60 :lol:

Remove the fuel tank and replace it with a 3ltr Coke bottle (other soft drinks are available). You save a ton of weight and your car now has a fuel cell just like what race cars n stuff have....init!

Oh, and don't forget, you can cut a coil or two out of each spring! No need for costly lowering springs and shock absorbers!

Buy a box of new sparks for the plugs too , makes for a crisper throttle response .

 

[dsp78]

Didnt think spark plugs worked in a diesel?

It's a well kept secret only the best tuners know. It works the other way round too. All those 1000bhp Skylines are actually using glowplugs designed to fit Nissan Primera's.

:wow: you never knew that

You run them along side the glow plug , thats how they came up with the Twinspark idea for the petrols



Fill the tyres with hot water too for extra sticky rubber , cos with all this extra power you'll need the grip .

That's how the big boys run 8sec quarter miles at Santa Pod...lol

Don't forget to stick on a fake bonnet air scoop ( same as a Scobby ) this gives you an extra 11.6 BHP , those stripes are are the same colours of the Italian flag, massive coincidence :cheese:

 

[dsp78]

Ive got a long way to go then. Only doing 0-60 in 8 secs. How do i get the water into my tyres?

 

[EVEL]

Stickers down the wing , you forgot that advertising performance parts adds 10bhp

Use the tap thing next to the airline , der. That's what its there for .

Most folks just fill washer bottle with it not realising there missing out on extra G's in the corners

Another top performance tip. You need a ton of stickers down the door. Samco, Sparco, Blitz, Bilstein etc. On average you'll get 7bhp per sticker. 9 if its a Japanese tuning company...

Don't forget the carbon looking fuel cap = 2 bhp
