Get Your Custom Ride Ready For Spring

The spring season's is here, and that means you can show off your custom ride in the new bright light. Seasonal transitions are good for reminding you to have your engine checked, and make sure your engine's running at peak efficiency. Check your vehicle from top to bottom, to make sure that the cold, salt, or snow hasn't affected the way your ride looks or performs. It's just as important to keep your custom ride cleaned up and looking nice when the warm weather comes as it is to clean house. Just be sure to check your engine and its components, as well as things like your exhaust and air intake system.

Spring is also a good time to get a fresh start! What kinds of new modifications would you like to upgrade to now that spring has sprung? How do you plan on getting your custom vehicle ready for spring? We'd love to know what you're planning.

Air Intake Systems - Our Favorite Performance Modification

We think upgrading your air intake system is a great performance modification that can be done to your ride. The intake system is specifically engineered and calibrated to increase the air's velocity as it travels towards the engine. It minimizes turbulence and other air disturbances to maintain a high power output or torque. The air intake system is made up of air filters, throttle bodies, and a flow sensor.

Our favorite air intake systems are the cold-air intake systems. By bringing cooler, denser air into the engine, there is a greater power output. If high speed and high performance is what you seek, then you may consider a short ram-air intake, which increases the air volume intake. For best results, make sure the intake piping is nonrestrictive. There are often heat shields used to maintain cool air in the heated engine.

Agree? Disagree? Let us know what you feel is the best performance modification possible for an aftermarket high-performance vehicle!
