tuning

what is tuning in its whole? Is there more to it than additions, like bolt ons, engine swap, turbo, exc...? Does anyone do more than add parts to their car?

Re: tuning

Tuning IMO, is actually messing with your car's parameters, ie fuel and ignition maps, that sort of thing. Adding I/H/E is not tuning IMO, that's just adding parts.

Re: tuning

no, they just adjust cam timing. You can get a little HP with them though, not much.

Re: tuning

Yeah Intake, Header, Exhaust, and bigger throttle body are really good starters. Later like people said you should read about your car and ask people about how to tune with adjustable cam gears,Hondata,cams, and such. Also if you have the money port and polishing maybe bigger valves will help also especially with bigger cams.

Re: tuning

why not?

My friend is getting cam gears even though he has stock cams. He's also getting a turbo installed pretty soon, but nonetheless you can squeeze a little horsepower playing with the cam timing.
