instead trying to fight & prove each other let us all try to make this thread informative as to which mods give what in practical situation. I am sure people like viper can help this happen.
lets start with the basics- why & how Can performance be increased.
let me try to put in what I have learnt till now
1. select a car which can actually be modified if you have the time & money to do it. e.g a lancer or a ohc, even a baleno. first & most noticeable gain will be by changing its engine to the larger capacity one as per manufacture.
2. always stick to safety rules & take adequate measures so that you don't put yourself or people on road at risk, since they don't know what's in your car.
3. second is selecting car which is under tuned to suit normal indian driving conditions. so when you are going to retune to its optimum performance be sure you take care of it. good fuel,air and roads.
3. take advise from experts on what suits the particular car. do not force a tall boy design to run quarter miles.
4.various mods have to work in co-ordination to give proper results. plan and improve step by step.
I will request all our gurus to help in identifying what's correct & how to be done.
ice section of teambhp has very good stuff.
