SECONDARY MODS:
Suspension Kits:
Due to the increase of power in your street car it would need better suspension in order to provide grip and safety. You can change to performance struts, shocks, dampers, coils and camber kits.

Nitrous Oxide Systems:
This is a very zippy mod preferred by drag racers and it has to be carefully handled. Now the concept of NOS is that when nitrous and fuel are injected into the engine's cylinders it expands and exerts high pressure on the pistons leading to a surge in speed.There are two types of nitrous oxide systems as WET and DRY systems.
There are three subtypes in the wet system as:
1. Wet Single Point: This introduces the fuel and the nitrous together thus causing the upper intake to become wet with fuel. The wet nozzle differs in the way that it intakes the fuel and nitrous in metered jets to create the right air fuel ratio.
2. Wet Direct Port: This introduces the nitrous and fuel directly into each intake port of the engine.They combine nitrous and fuel in several nozzles and that meters the fuel and nitrous mixture to each cylinder. Since the nitrous and fuel mixture is directly injected into the cylinder it is called the direct port system.
3. Plenum Bar: This system has spraybars in the plenums of the intake manifold. This system is simillar to the direct port multi stage nitrous systems.
DRY NOS:
In this system the fuel is introduced through the fuel injectors. This can be altered by altering the pressure in the fuel injection system or altering the time the fuel injectors remain open. This system has only one nozzle and that sprays only nitrous and not nitrous and fuel.

Head Porting:
This means increasing the size and polishing the intake and exhaust ports. The intake ports need to have a rough finish and the exhaust ports need a polished finish. There is increase in power due to the increased quality of gas flows.
Camshafts:
They lead to at least a 15% increase of power and you can customize them for high or low or mid rpm gains. Try getting them with a cam limiter so as to achieve full cam gains. You could also go for high lift cams if you want a bang for bucks.
Rev Limiters:
Get the rev limiters removed from a tuner. The rev limiter is placed by the car manufacturer and if removed will not lead to increase of power but helps to hold a gear longer. But check if your engine can hold the excess stress.
Over Boring:
This means to increase the displacement (cc) by increasing the size of the piston and the engine stroke. The simple concept is that bigger the engine, more the power. In order to do this change your crankshafts, pistons and the connecting rods.
Engine Control Unit Mods:
This means the addition of another ECU called as the piggyback ECU. The concept is that the piggyback ECU does all the performance work and the car's ECU does all the non engine electronic jobs. The piggyback ECU modifies the fuel injection and timings leading to increased performance.
On the other hand a box called the Pete's Tuning Box can also be added between the engine and the ECU and this box modifies and sends false signals to the ECU asking for more fuel for more combustion and eventually increase of power.
Engine Remapping:
You could go for an engine remap with an experienced tuner. This means that the default factory software settings will be modified according to your demands. It is recommended that the engine remapping job is done after the above given mods are done.
REMEMBER: WARRANTY WILL BE VOID IF THESE MODS ARE DONE WITHIN THE COVERAGE TIME
