okay, what kind of maintenence stuff can cause a loss in power? i slacked off in the tune up department and now, after racing a car i KNOW i aleays beat and LOSING, i realize it has taken its toll on performance. i am also about to install quite a few mods, but i wanna mod a PROPERLY running car so i get full benefit. here's the stats:
--current mods:
new k&n dual cone
new ngk wires
new O2 sensors
just used redline fuel syst cleaner
redline MT90 gear oil
H&R springs
KYB rear struts
17s w/235/40
--KNOWN problems:
bad front motor mount (maybe rear too)
old plugs (have new ones, gonna install)
BAD front struts (maybe other front susp probs too)
2+ oil leaks (v cover gask, oil pan gask, i think a hose by alternator too)
exhaust leak-front manifold
due for oil change
so based on all that, what can i do to restore LOST power before adding my mods? what else does a tune up consist of? could any of the listed things result in a power loss?
any ideas are GREATLY appreciated...THANX!
