How to improve your engine performance?

Hello everyone!

Increase capacity-more displacement means more power, because you can burn more gas during every revolution of the engine. You can increase the displacement making larger cylinders or by adding more cylinders. 12-cylinder seems to be the practical limit.
Increase the compression ratio-highest compression ratio produce more power, up to a point. The more you compress the air/fuel mixture, however, the more likely it is spontaneously burst into flames (before the spark plug it). Higher octane gasolines to prevent this type of premature combustion. That's why high-performance cars generally need gasoline high octane-engines use higher compression ratios to get more power.

More stuff in each cylinder-if you can cram more air (and therefore fuel) in a cylinder of a specific size, you can get more power from the cylinder (in the same way that you would increase the size of the cylinder). Super charger superchargers and pressurize the incoming air to cram more air effectively in a cylinder.
Cool the incoming air-compressing air raises the temperature. Would love to have the coolest possible air in the cylinder, because it's warmer than the less air expands when combustion takes place. So many turbo charged and super-charged cars have an intercooler. Intercooler is a special cooler through which compressed air passes to freshen up before it enters the cylinder.
Far easier-air enters as a piston moves down on the suction stroke, air resistance can steal power from the engine. Air resistance can be reduced dramatically by putting two intake valves in each cylinder. Some newer cars are also using polished intake manifolds to eliminate air resistance there. Larger air filters can also improve airflow.
Let drain out more easily-if air resistance makes it difficult for a cylinder, exhaust robs engine power. Air resistance can be reduced with the addition of a second exhaust valve per cylinder (a car with 2 exhaust and intake values 2 has 4 valves per cylinder, which improves performance-when you hear a car advertisement tell you the car has 4 cylinders and 16 valves, what are you saying the announcement is that the engine has four valves per cylinder). If the drain hose is too small or the muffler has a lot of air resistance, this can cause back pressure that has the same effect. Headers, large systems tail pipes and fluid to remove the mufflers back pressure in the exhaust system high performance exhaust. When you hear that a car has "dual flush", the aim is to improve the exhaust stream having two exhaust pipes instead of one.
Make everything lighter-lighter parts will help your engine run better. Whenever a piston changes direction uses energy to stop the journey in one direction and start it in another. Lighter than the piston, it takes less energy.
Inject the fuel-Fuel injection allows for very precise measurement of fuel to each cylinder. This improves performance and fuel economy.
