A Boost to the 2007 Auto Performance

MSD ignition, world’s leader in ignitions, coils and accessories, launched its Performance Electronics for 2007. Some of these new products do not fall squarely under the ignition banner of the company. They cover advanced electronics coupled with powerful performance that MSD ignition specializes.

In more than 35 years, ignition MSD, is known to be evolving with innovations and technologies. The most recent releases are DashHawk vehicle information system and Blaster electronic fuel injection system.

Previously, MSD ignition has teamed up with other leaders in performance electronics like Racepak, Superchips, and Edge Products. Racepak is famed for its domineering presence in almost every aspect of motorsports. It showcases advanced data systems designed to deliver efficient circle track cars, fuel dragsters, and enhanced powersports applications. Nowadays, Racepak is offering a wide-variety of unique loggers, gauges, software, and ancillary equipment used for gathering data. Superchips and Edge Products concentrate on late model domestic performance computer programming. They use distinct technology to bring about improved electronics performance. Basically, Superchips specializes in program tuners and plug-in while Edge Products is focusing on mastering the ins-and-outs of communicating to modify the signals of factory ECU. Critics in the industry attest to the capabilities of both the companies.

Auto Performance Tuning

There is much more than engine tuning that can be done to your auto to increase performance. Every working part of your car can be fined-tuned to increase speed, smoothness in shifting, and drivability. Let’s explore the main areas of performance tuning and see how each can contribute to a better driving experience.

Engine Tuning

There are a few main areas of tuning that can help give your car or truck an engine performance upgrade. One is to install a performance chip. A performance chip can be put in engines that have fuel injection and an ECU, or Electronic Control Unit. With a performance chip, non-turbo engines often result in about a 10 percent power boost while turbo engines often see an increase of 25 to 30 horsepower! Also there are many home based tuners out there that are better than performance chips. These tuners now have the software to do more upgrades to your auto than chip can. They can customize shift points, tire diameter, upgrade according to upgrades done to auto (headers, exhaust, intake, ect).They can also improve your gas mileage per gas tank. Most home based tuners even do retunes for future upgrades done to your car or truck.

Auto tuning for greater performance involves much more than engine tuning. Every major and minor working part of your car can be fined-tuned to increase speed, smoothness, and drivability. Let’s explore the key areas of performance tuning and see how each can contribute to better driving.

Fine Engine Tuning

There are several key areas of tuning that can help give your car or truck an engine boost. One is to install a performance chip. A performance chip can be fitted in engines with fuel injection and an ECU, or Electronic Control Unit. With a performance chip, non-turbo engines often result in about a 10 percent power boost while turbo engines often see an increase of 25 to 30 horsepower!

Engines also see a power boost with a performance cam, which can be fitted by an experienced mechanic or a really knowledgeable home mechanic. Cams of about 270 degrees can boost the engine up to an extra 12 horsepower. A power boost valve can also be installed to replace the fuel pressure regulator, which is located in the return fuel line.
