How to be fast and green with your car

Ever wanted to save gas? How about gain power? How about both? If you do this post is for you.

The best way to do both is to install a supercharger they are well known in racing for greatly increasing power but what most don't know is that they can increase gas mileage. They do this by increasing the air to fuel ratio. When you have more air you use less fuel and it burns hotter.

For the muscle car person a supercharger gives better acceleration and more horsepower. For the average person trying to save money superchargers will save gas on the highway. The increase mostly depends your driving habits and if you drive on the highway or through city streets.If you don't drive with a lead foot and you drive on the highway a supercharger is definitely for you.

Ever wonder if you should buy a turbocharger or a supercharger Well here are a few tips A turbocharger has to cool down for at least 30 seconds when done driving before turning the car off.A turbocharger has more lag ( the time between pressing the gas and acceleration ) because it compresses air from the exhaust system so the air has to get there.To install a turbocharger you have to make a major engine modification but for a supercharger you can install it on the side or the top of the engine with little to no modification.Remember to check back for more tips.
