The engines of both trucks and cars function just like a big air pump. This is because the engine performs several deliberately timed combustions, which push out and pull in air. So, if you are planning to boost the torque and horsepower of your vehicle, then all you need to do is to find a way to move greater volumes of air in and out of your vehicle’s engine. Even though there are plenty of ways and ideas to increase the torque and horsepower of four-wheel drives and cars, several vehicle owners in the country have no idea on how to do this. If you are one among them, then below are a few simple yet effective tips that will help you to accomplish it with ease.
Cold air intake: One of the simplest and affordable ways through which you can increase the horsepower of your vehicle is by making an upgrade to a performance cold air intake. This will make the air coming to the engine of your car a lot colder, which in turn makes the air denser too. Since the engine of your vehicle operates by mixing fuel and air to produce more, the increase in the density of air will increase the power of the engine.
Larger diameter throttle body: The throttle body system of your truck plays a key role in regulating the flow of air in and out of the engine. Therefore, the throttle body is one of the most significant parts of your vehicle, as it helps the engine to fire accurately. This is why it is best to install a new large-diameter throttle body with bigger flaps, as it will permit the entry of more air to the engine of your truck. This, in turn, increases the performance of your vehicle’s engine.
Exhaust header: It is significant to note that maintaining the production costs and meeting the emission requirements will limit or minimize the ability of the stock exhaust manifolds of your engine to efficiently move the air. Therefore, if you make an investment in aftermarket exhaust headers, you will be able to increase the torque and horsepower of your vehicle’s engine significantly.
In addition to these three tips, you should also consider investing in a high-flow cat-back exhaust system and a high-flow catalytic converter to increase the torque and horsepower to an optimum level.
