okay, this is not about an automobile.
Its about a ride on lawn mower.
(go ahead, laugh it up)
but its got a 5HP Briggs and Stratton.
Is there anything i can do to make it a bit faster,
or shoot fire from the exhasut so i burn the police officers face as he is chasing me on foot

I would check out a karting website or two.
However to be able to run a bit faster, you may want to replace the handles and skirt with carbon fiber. Grin Grin Grin

Hotter ignition, higher octane fuel, larger carburetor(if so equipped), less restrictive exhaust, blending and polishing of intake & exhaust ports, lighter valves, higher compression, performance camshaft...............

You know, the regular stuff........... Grin Grin Grin Grin

there is plenty (i am assuming it is a 2 stroke). . .port and bore out the motor. . .high performance carb. . .compression dome. . .longer velocity stack and airfilter, 2 stroke exaust can,  lightend flywheel, change the gearing ratio. . .

it is a two stroke. its a lawnmower.
I can put a quad engine, but i dont want to do extensive modifications to the mower. and cant really sacrafice myself or a quad motor.
I got it running today tho, it shots fire from the muffler like square thingy. i was thinking of boreing it out and maybe some performance pistons and a custom straight exhasuts.
I can get some jet fuel but i dont think it would run

you don't get more power with a straight exhaust on a 2 stroke. . .you need an expansion chamber. Wink

I got the thing drive-ible today
its R.F.L. .....
(Really F Shockedkin Loud)
Its not too fast, and I stalled it making a U-turn.
I think niturous would be nice, power on command.
Im looking at buying a 12hp air cleaner for it, it looks cool and is less restrictive, I think.
