Built motor= faster car??

[Maple50175]

So yeah I just had a question. I want to build my motor. Does this make it any faster? Seems like a dumb question but im confused. i know when you boost you should so it doesnt blow up but still.

I'm looking to get:

New head studs
New pistons
new rods
new bearings
new valve springs


If I replace these things will it make my car better? faster? etc?

if you get high compression pistons it'll be faster. get some flat-faced valves to up the compression a point or two. get a cam, that'll make a difference.

[fatboy1185]

usally when you build for nitrous or turbo, you want to lower the compression, which will not make your car faster. but with higher compression, you can gain more power with less pressure from the turbo.

Springs And Valves
Will Give U Limitied Hp

The Reason U Put Them Is Not To Make Power
Is To Handle The Power Thats Coming

Lets Say A Engine's Valve Train Can Be Forced Till 7k Rpms

By Putting Valves And Springs, U Can Rev Without The Thought That A Valve Will Drop Or Something Like That

You can still run nitrous on a somewhat high compression.

interesting.

putting forged pistons and rods in a motor more or less adds reliability to the engine so you can put more hp in it.

killer bearings can reduce the amount of frictional drag and add longevity to a built motor.

forged internals can be lighter and already mentioned but be more reliable under forced induction.

flat faced valves will NOT increase compression by a point, maybe like half a point. valve springs will help with a beefier cam and result in a snappier motor. also can rev higher without floating the valves.

ARP hardware is just security for the motor.
