Hi ya, shishand ......
Well, let's see, you are 19 years old and I'm 70 years old.
When I was 19, my car (1948 chevrolet) had 85 HP and weighed 3,700 lbs. Now, my car (FR-S) has 200 HP and weighs about 2,700 lbs. So, this "old fart" is making progress ....
However, when I was 19, like you, I didn't feel my car was powerful enough ....... so, I "fixed" it.....
What did my engine dyno out at? Hell, I have no idea ..... back then, "power" was measured in how many Fords & Mercurys I could beat in a 1/4 mile ....
