I am new to the site, I have absolutely no automotive knowledge. I have a 94 escort lx, and would like to start modifying it to get more power. I am not looking for racing. I was wondering where would be the best place to tart.

put a cold air intake on it, then replace the header, exhaust piping and muffler and hollow out your catalytic converter. you could gain upwards of probably 20+ horses out of that. putting bigger exhaust usually won´t help torque though. My advice is before anything, learn about what you already have. appreciate it, caress it, love it. That way you can figure out the right ways to make it work better to your liking.

That´s strange, i usually wind up beating on the wheel screaming for four more cylinders and rear wheel drive when a Camaro or Mustang flys by... The high reving 1.8 is nice by destroked 400 and a ´glide is a blast to drive... You wanna talk high rpm power!
