Improve Your Vehicle's Performance...Be Cold!

Have you ever wondered what you can do to make your cute little car from Peoria VW run a bit better?  Or what about if you recently purchased an older model Silverado from Sarasota Chevy Dealer and you want to get a few more horsepower out of your truck?  Well, just like disc brakes are better than drum brakes by a great deal because of their ability to get rid of heat quicker and a cooler braking system improves your stopping power, colder air being directed at your engine will improve its performance.  Simply installing a cold-air intake system on your new F-150 you picked up from a Ford Dealer Chicago will improve your horsepower at a relatively low cost.

Make sure that doing this slight improvement will not void your manufacturer's warranty.  A lot of people do install an aftermarket cold air intake system on their vehicles, but just check before you do how stringent your warranty is.  Engine modification systems can void your warranty when you need a repair down the road. 

So how does all this really work?  Well, on turbocharged vehicles, like some of the sporty Volkswagens available for purchase, they have intercoolers to bring in outside air to help cool the engine.  Plus, colder air is more dense, so when it combusts in the engine, you get an even greater boost of power.  That extra density provides you with extra horsepower.  This great idea does not mean that you need to move to Alaska where there is plenty of cold air available to help direct even colder and more dense air into your engine; although not a bad idea, it also is not practical nor necessary!  Simply making sure that your air intake is set up so that the cooler air flows directly into your engine's intake system will give you the best result.
