Let me start by making it clear that this is in no way a critisism of anyone in particular, but a genuine research into "Need for more Power". So that's the disclaaimer out of the way .
I cannot help to notice that many of us have been upgrading our car performance to get more BHP and torque. But in some cases, the performance enhancements are purely academic to say the least. Except for the ocassional trip to a race track, daily "normal" driving is unlikely to require much of any added power.
Away from the power game, another set of owners are after something slightly or completely different. I noticed for instance some write-up from Eric Van De Spelde on FORGE BPC valves (which I found very interesting), chats about Manual Boost Controllers, and methods to control torque steer ( a subject I'll come back to at some stage).
I myself got more than enough
under the bonnet. So much so that I have been reduced to driving with extreme patience (thus like a grandad on a Sunday ), where before I could go to town on the accelerator. So when I had my ECU re-mapped, I made changes to reduce turbo lag, and improve the engine response below 2000RPM. Those were the things that were getting on my nerves with the "standard" car.
But adding wider tyres has now lumbered me with tramlining and complaining about uneven roads.
I am very much interested to find out what caused you to make power increases to your car (if you have done so!), and whether the power increase did address your initial dissatisfactions, and/or added you with more headaches .
