    Description
    An in-depth study of engine and transmission modifications made in order to improve performance. This class will explain the differences in laws governing vehicles in all fifty states including those registered in California; how to improve performance legally; and the penalties of breaking the law. Students will learn to calculate the benefit versus cost of bolt-on performance products and major engine or transmission modifications. NOTE: Some modifications are intended for off-road applications only. Students are encouraged to enroll in Automotive Lab concurrently.
