Re: Increasing Engine Power

hey mark...if you wanna gain about 100 hp then put on about 30lbs of stickers, a coffee can exhaust, and slam your car to the ground..it should work....seems like it works for all the honda boys..all of them are doing it..
MAN what is wrong with a s-charger..its the american way! think about it man..it is a lot easier..and it looks cool.....i always say 'SUPERCHARGE ME!!!!!' good for at least 100hp..
