I've got an interesting opinion question here. Say you have a car that is stock, and a car that is chipped with an exhaust.

In the stock car, assume every mile you put on the car is equal to a mile of wear and tear.

In a chipped car, would you say every mile still equals a mile of wear and tear? Or would it be 1.5 miles of wear and tear for every mile of actual driving? Or higher?

Interested to hear responses.

 

still depends on the driver and the care provided to the car

 

i agree with sooks all depends on how hard the car is driven.

 

Increases in torque will place more wear on an engine because that increases the pressure of each stroke. So if your mods up your torque, then you are increasing the engine workload.

 

agreed.. .not saying it doesnt have ANY affect.. but proper maintainence trumps i believe.

 

...better question might be for each ft/lb of pressure on the gas peddle...or some such...lol
