performance parts

Re: performance parts
My opinion
Know that HP costs - exponentially so
Have a budget
Have a (realistic) goal - unless you have deep pockets
Research thoroughly
Expect it to cost more than what you think
Expect it to take longer than what you think
Expect in the process of upgrading - you'll find other stuff that needs fixed/ replaced
Expect once you upgrade one thing - something else will need upgraded - else it'll break... won't perform as expected
Enjoy the work... and then the results of your work
Motors are air glorified pumps - getting it breathing (in and out) better will have the greatest affect for a modest cost
But also be careful - better breathing could also lead to the motor running lean - so an upgrade to the fuel system "may" be necessary
Again - one upgrade could beget another, could beget another
Its all good if you accept, and are prepared for that
