make the car faster?
anybody know a simple way to add some power without adding any mods...i want to race someone with my stock 97gxe auto but he has mods and i dont...anyway i can improve performance? btw he has a 94 v6 camry auto with few mods
im thinking weight reduction is one of the only things you can do without actually installing a performance mod. maybe lower the PSI in your tires so you can get a better launch (but it will slow you down a bit when you get moving). you told me the other day that your mom didnt like the intake so she made you get rid of it. since you have an auto you might want to consider getting Don's VB mod. it will make your auto shift harder and make the car a little quicker. your mom wont be able to tell. if dont want to spend the $ on that i think the only things you can do is try to make your car as light as possible, manually shift it from D1 to D2 and maybe lower your tire pressure.

Agreed, two ways to speed up....add mods or reduce weight...you didn't/can't add mods...so reduce weight...

take out the spare, all the **** outta the trunk, run a few laps around the block before the race, shift from 2nd off the line and put it into D after that, ive noticed that gives a good high takeoff.....other than that....umm gl hf
