Hello, just a quick question. I have a 4 cylinder and its pretty slow, now i know that its gonna be slow no matter what, but is there anything i can check or clean that might be effecting the speed/acceleration! Also are there any not to expensive ways to increase speed/acceleration. Like anything i can buy, im not looking to win a race just to have a little more go when i hit the pedal. (ps is it possible to make the wheels smoke with have a 4 cylinder?)

Thank you for all your help
