That can make for a disappointing performance. If you want something to assist your naturally aspirated engine, bolt on a supercharger and see how you like the power output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding a supercharger allows a computer to determine the fuel and air mixture best suits your car, leading to a muscle car sprinting for longer jaunts. The better your car can breathe, the better its performance will be. Superchargers aren\u2019t expensive but are effective at beefing up power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enhance_Purity_in_the_Air_Intake\"><\/span>Enhance Purity in the Air Intake<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Add-a-Supercharged-Engine.jpg\" alt=\"Add a Supercharged Engine\" class=\"wp-image-4835\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Add-a-Supercharged-Engine.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Add-a-Supercharged-Engine-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Add-a-Supercharged-Engine-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/high-performance-air-filter-on-cold-1460538014\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Since we\u2019re talking about breathing, the purer the air quality you get into your car\u2019s \u2018lungs,\u2019 the better.

Your car\u2019s engine needs the most \u2013 and cleanest \u2013 air possible, so you need to ditch your paper air filters and swap in a high-flow cone air filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only are air filters incredibly inexpensive, but they also help a lot of aspects of under-the-hood performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Buy_a_Shift_Kit_and_Shifter\"><\/span>Buy a Shift Kit and Shifter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Enhance-Purity-in-the-Air-Intake.jpg\" alt=\"Enhance Purity in the Air Intake\" class=\"wp-image-4836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Enhance-Purity-in-the-Air-Intake.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Enhance-Purity-in-the-Air-Intake-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Enhance-Purity-in-the-Air-Intake-768x410.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/gear-lever-manual-transmission-hand-on-1369149566\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you want to get your muscle car up and moving a bit faster, consider getting a brand new gear shifter\u2013and altogether better. If you are driving a stick like a classic muscle car lover, a short shifter can help reduce pickup lag in your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to stick with an automatic? You need to invest in a short-throw shift kit. This sends the car into higher gears more quickly and helps you speed things up when you are on the highway.

The stock camshaft might just not be giving you enough hp. Still, a performance-oriented camshaft adds several ponies to the lackluster stock vehicle, even without any other modifications. The valve opening times for every engine stroke are better, resulting in more hp and swifter acceleration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even without another mod, a mild camshaft gets the job done.

Cheap tires tend not to be up to speed, literally and figuratively. Racing tires are optimal if you plan on hitting the track on your weekend off.

Of course, you might be looking for more geometric shapes where lower control arms are handy. Solid factory arms don\u2019t provide as much stability at launch as lower control arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LCAs have an advanced bushing that keeps the car steady before launch, plus these LCAs can be adjusted. You will get optimal traction and a lower-flex approach for maximum launch speed off the line. Adjustable arms allow you to alter the vehicle\u2019s ride height depending on whether you are on the track or hitting the open road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article originally appeared on <a href=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/general\/ways-to-trick-out-your-muscle-car\/\">MyCarMakesNoise.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_from_MyCarMakesNoise\"><\/span>More from MyCarMakesNoise<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10 Unusual Road Rules You`ll Encounter Internationally<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Aftermarket-Tinted-Windows.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Aftermarket-Tinted-Windows.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Aftermarket-Tinted-Windows-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Aftermarket-Tinted-Windows-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: aaalll \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/depositphotos.com\/232989192\/stock-photo-tinted-black-car-windows-reflect.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">depositphotos.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The world&#8217;s highways are littered with peculiar and often surprising regulations, from banned car colors to unusual restrictions on eating and drinking while driving.
