The search bar is also highly useful.

 

What if i want to change the horsepower or for example, make a drag covet.

 

Change the parts using the parts selector.

 

How can i do it without the parts selector?

 

You can't.

 

Go to this file location, open up the pigeon with winrar or 7zip, open the pigeon engine file, find this code

and change the numbers I highlighted. The higlighted numbers are how much torque the engine makes at that RPM.
numbers on the left are the rpm, numbers on the right are torque

example
[500, 111],
[1000, 127],
[1500, 129],
[2000, 151],
[3000, 165],
[4000, 198],
[5000, 230],
[6000, 255],
[7000, 254],
[7500, 221],
[8000, 217],
[8500, 172],
[9000, 151],
[9500, 128],

 

Or you can do that which is more complicated but allows more options.
