Default A different source of cheap HP?

So octane boosters have been around for a while, but they seem to be pretty sketchy when it comes to results, especially for na/economy cars. Nitrous is also another low cost performance route I've been considering, but it is highly illegal in my area and somewhat dangerous to boot.





So, I wracked my brains for a budget alternative to these upgrades, and I think I've nutted it out.









































































I just added this to a full tank of 93, it took a while to pour but I got most of it in. I haven't gone for a full blown test drive yet, I'll keep everyone updated with the results.

All the horsepower turned the earth backwards, and a satellite fell out of orbit and crushed the car. I'm posting this from my grave.

Yeah, I've been fighting against gravity for years now.





I'm decomposing as I compose this message.

How can you compose if you're decomposing?
