Increase your Hotrods horsepower

Automakers are usually more eager to improve gas mileage and keep maintenance costs low than to maximize performance. That means most cars are born with the equivalent of a stuffy nose. Here are two ways to increase horsepower and bring out your ride's inner hot rod.

1. Upgrade to a free-flow aftermarket air filter.

* Buy a free-flow air filter that fits your car.
* Open hood. Locate the air filter housing. (Look for the long pipe-like thing connecting the engine to a square, plastic box.)
* Remove housing. Unscrew clamps or screws and open filter housing.
* Remove filter. Discard the old air filter (Note: remember how it is fitted).
* Clean the inside of the box with a damp cloth.
* Insert new, free-flow filter.
* Close housing box and drop hood.

2. Enhance your engine's computer with a power module.

* Disconnect negative battery cable.
* Locate the car's computer. Look in the driver's manual, a Chilton or a Haynes guide to see how to access the car's computer.
* Unplug wiring harness from computer.
* Plug in an after-market power module. Insert it between the wiring harness and the computer.
* Reconnect negative battery cable.
* Follow the module's instructions for starting car.
* Fill 'er up with gas and race with up to 30 extra ponies.
