• Upgrade Your Lubricants -Friction and heat from engine components and the drive train rob horsepower and performance. Minimizing this power loss can be as easy as upgrading to one of the newer high-performance lubricants that are available. For instance, in a test by Horsepower TV, upgrading to Royal Purple motor oil freed up nine horsepower. The company's products have also been proven in independent tests to save fuel and reduce emissions. More information can be found at www.royalpurple.com.
• Use Higher-Octane Gas or an Octane Booster-Go for the good stuff the next time you're at the pump. Depending on your vehicle, high-octane gasoline can provide an increase in horsepower. Even a marginal gain in switching from the lowest-octane gasoline to the highest octane is probably worth a few extra pennies at the pump. A racing blend of gasoline will work well for those wanting to see a more measurable increase in power. It may take some extra time and effort to find racing blends on the market, though.
