HOW TO: Make Your Car Go Faster

[bondo07]

So far, I haven't had time to really read in deapth, but I skimmed over this thread and all i see is for ecotecs and older 2.2s. I haven't seen anything about the 3.1 yet. I got a 92 cavi with the 3.1 MPFI with a short cold air intake, an 89 5spd tranny and 2 1/4" exhaust with only a resonator and glasspack. No Catt. It's loud, mean, and fast, but I can't find any links for moderately priced performance parts for this motor. Could use some help.

WoW great amount of tips THANX. But being a n00b my 98 cav RS has a top speed of 110 like most basic cavi's how can i increase it higher than 110 without engine swap? i seen some cavis with the same 2200 sfi engine that i have but there top speed is 220???

Hi,g'day mate. assuming you practise this in a safe place first, the best way to get going fast is to "drop the clutch". basically you get your revs up to around 2400rpm and let the clutch out quickly but smoothly. any higher than 2400 - 2800 and you will most likely spin the wheels and screech off and not really go anywhere fast. Also depending on the type of car you have, less powerful cars need more revs, more powerful cars need less revs. If the roads wet i wouldn't do it, if youve got an FWD (front wheel drive) i'd avoid it because you could torque steer into someone. Hope this answers ur question
