When i bought my saturn i really just wanted to do a lil bit to it and that was it. but me and my buddies when to the track yesterday and even though my times were slow, i got addicted. so i got bold and decided to race my boy's mustang and i beat him. by the end of the night i was runnin around 16.3's (wit a whole bunch of junk in the trunk). but my question is...how do i get more torque? my car feels like it picks up on the top end but i just got lucky cuz i had a faster reaction time. help me out

weight reduction is your friend.
remove the trunk stuff, and the rear seats next time out at the track....you'll see slightly better e/t's
as for more torque....throw some nitrous on that shit. A small shot (50) is safe and effective in giving that little extra fun at the track.LSJ powered 1998 Chevy S-10 turbo

You want more HP, not torque.07 Redline w/ stuff.<br /><br />89 Civic hatch w/o stuff.<br /><br />96 SL2 that dont need stuff.Comment

Doesn't matter. Hp is a funtion of torque and rpm (rpm/5252)Xtorque. The more torque the more HP. Its where you want the torque increase that is the trick....what rpms in the car in most the time down the track?-6S Resident Mechanical Forensics member #001.

when it comes to weight reduction kits, what would i be looking at to modifyComment

We don't have weight reduction kits. The weight reduction we do is just taking shit out of your car and hoping for the best.- Justin [s]99 Blue SL2 - T3/T4 14psi[/s] (dead)

Is your car stock?
There's some N/A boltons, that will make your car more fun to drive, but it's honestly a waste of time. The only things that are dramatically going to increase lower your quarter mile times are practice, turbo/supercharging, or nitrous.Comment
