|
| I know ur all like J Man ask to many performance Questions but is there a 50-100 dollar way of adding more horsepower :twisted: ? or just a little self tunning i can do to my 1990 eighty-eight oldsmobile royal that is set as it was when it roled off oldsmobiles assembely line! I know this because my dad owned it before me! :D |

| I would say Nitrous, but because of the fact that it has to be refilled frequently and the fact that its not always there only when u hit the switch. Supercharging is a one time thing, never have to keep paying to refill something, and its always there no on/off switch. Octane booster does nothing unless u got lots of boost or a high compression engine. |

| Dude, for 45 bux, build a cold air intake. It will add a few horses on your car, plus it will make it sound mean under wide open throttle. Dont blame me if you blow up your engine cause you hot-rodded it too much though ;-) |

| I too agree with the N20 option. It'll be more than fifty dollars, but it will make a noticeable difference (30-50 hp) with a small (and safe) dry shot right into the air intake tube. |

The sound you get with a cold air intake is mean, and makes me want to put my foot into it more... I can see how a small mod like that would make some people want to race thier car and push it harder than it was meant to be pushed... Thats all I meant :-) |

Octane Booster actually does make a difference if u have a high compression engine w/ 92-93 octane fuel in it.
Nitrus Oxide is a sure fire way to get more power but alot more than that has to go into it
Cold Air Inkake if u open one end up u have to do the same to the other end to let it "breath" more I.E. intake & exhaust
Supercharger <<<thats the best wat to go but u still have to have an open exhaust and make as stright as u can (hint for all GLASS PACK!!!) |
