:thumbs: There are several options for INCREASING HORSEPOWER, however most will put a giant sized crimp in your wallet; just ask any INDY and NASCAR team owner. One popular option on the market is "the chip." Unfortuanately, the computer chip has several monumental draw backs: 1) The chip will set you back $400-500 for a mere couple percentage points increase in horsepower. 2) It will immediately VOID your warranty, so adding the chip to a new car can end up costing a lot more than the purchase price. 3) Finally, there's only a minimal increase in horsepower. Now here's an option that gives you a very hefty bang for the buck and double digit increase on RPM without breaking your bank on a mechanic. Infact, in the long run you will actually save money by additionally increasing your miles per gallon.

clean the engine, make sure all belts are on as tight as they can be, also more air = more power so clean air filter if possible, or home make a air scoop to add to the bottom of the car

About the only way to do it without spending any money is pushing the gas pedal a little more toward the floor....but that actually costs more gas- so even that is not free. An IAT sensor mod is probably the least expensive thing you can do. I have read about it and it seems some cars benefit more than others. If you want some info try http://www.hurricane-horsepower.com or one of the similar sites selling these things.

well there is not much you can do, but to optimize your existing horsepower all you need to do is get a higher grade gas and do a full oil change. also if u have time a weight reduction could help

its hard without spending money. but u can do small things like air filter change, change your plugs and plug wires, small things like that always help. but if you want to get a big boost in horsepower, you will need to spend some money.
