Best Answer

Everything in the driveline has to be replaced with stronger parts (including the gear box and final drive). The brakes, brake booster, brake lines, and master cylinder have to be upgraded. The suspension must be upgraded with heavier shocks and springs and with better stabilizer bars. Depending on the amount of power, the body of car needs to be reinforced against the excess strain the engine will put on it. Any chassis/frame rail that will be supporting the new engine/transmission should be reinforced as well. Allot of people also forget to change the radiator to one that can handle more flow.

Does more RAMs needs a higher processor?

No, you do not need to upgrade your processor in order to benefit from adding RAM. Think of adding RAM to a computer as similar to adding a high-performance carburetor to your car. Just as the carburetor will allow you to get more horsepower from the same engine, adding ram will allow you to better utilize your processors performance. With more RAM, your system will perform better when multitasking. You may not notice a great deal of performance gain within individual programs, but you will probably notice the OS itself seeming more responsive and applications loading faster.
