Suggestions and Idea
Allright so I am staring this discussion as a place to put additional suggestions for the mod, and as a place where I can put down some thoughts and see what everyone thinks.

This allows me to figure out if the idea is going to be something worth putting work into, before you know... putting in the work ha ha.

So first off here are some ideas:

Cooling System
-Radiator (OEM) just normal cooling for the motor
-Large Radiator, more cooling more weight
-small radiotor, less cooling less weight
-TURBO SYSTEMS (if its turbo or twin turbo)
-intercooler standard
-intercooler sport more cooling, slight hp increase
-intercooler race, more cooling, minor hp increase

Cam Shafts (this would have to be a sub mod as TKs RVA3 would be required)
-Changes the basic RPM profile
-mild camshaft, lowers peak torque, shift, better towing/offroad
-Standard camshaft
-agressive camshaft, increases peak torque, and shift, more power

Those are the parts ideas, next is some of the... perhaps more difficult to implement stuff:

Tuning the engine, a new lua action.
- Can add a small amount of horsepower
- Will help keep temperatures down
- helps to reduce wear and tear
- slightly improved fuel mileage (if using tksRVA3)

Temperature
-already programmed into the game (adjust to keep at 195 to 220 farenheit)
-lower temperatures will increase wear
-very low temperatures will cause powerloss and other issues
-overheating will increase wear significantly
-high temps cause heavy wear or failure, loss of power (maybe permanent)

Intake Manifold (will require TksRVA3 for full function)
-Various types, some will add power on every part of the curve
-Runner lengths that will tilt the curve, like cam shafts (requires TksRVA3)

Those are just some preliminary ideas, I know some people have expressed a desire for more functional maintenance items, like oil changes, etc.. Some of this would lead to some of that, however that would be a sub mod, or a seperate mod from this one... I think
