Auto Racing: Car Performance, electronic fuel injection, real race cars


Question
I NEED HELP!

How can i get the most horsepower and performance out of my Nissan Altima 3.5 SE without payin more than 5,000$ ?

Answer
Hi Pier:  
I don't think I can help you much. you might try finding a turbo charging kit or something like that.

Your Nissan Altima is a street car- -I know very little about them since I work only with "real" race cars for racing on tracks.

You see street cars are controlled by computer systems designed to maximize fuel economy. Fuel economy is not important to racers, getting more fuel to go through the engine is what we try to do. Your engine is fed by an electronic fuel injection system. We use carburetors.

I'm sorry but I really don't know what to tell you other than change to a K&N air filter, and put on an open exhaust.

Good luck
