 Reduce resistance during
intake and exhaust stages:
multiple valve configuration
 Cool the air before allowing
it to enter the cylinder
 Fuel Injection: do away with
the carburetor >>>

 Increase the
compression ratio
 Increase the engine
displacement: more power
 Compress more air into the
cylinder during intake: using
supercharger and
turbocharger
