DRIVE TRAIN Minimise power loss and prepare the drive train for higher power output and harsher race conditions. Increased shifting speed and power transfer by reducing inertia and friction. Improved gas flow speed with minimal restrictions in the exhaust system allows your engine to output more power. Improve the handling and traction by upgrading your suspension. Remember power is nothing without control. Power means little if you can't slow down. The better the brakes, the more aggressively you can drive by breaking later. Of course breaking power is useless if you don't have the tyres to handle it. Upgrade the framework and bodywork of your car for reduced risks, added safety and all new driving comfort.
