What is a quick way to increase my hp?
Is there a quick way to increase my hp in a 2000 Leganza? I'm going to race this afternoon!!!!
well it depends what have you done to your woo? for a drag strip race you can get a dryer hose and take off your headlight assembly and put the hose there and point it to your filter if you already replaced it with an aftermarket cone filter. that wouldn't really create a ram air effect but it would give you cooler air from outside the engine bay.
if you haven't changed your intake setup you might wanna do that by taking off the filter box and the resinator from the wheel well and replace it with a cone filter or at least a k&n filter in the box for better airflow.
other than that i'm not sure on a leganza for quick and easy stuff for just a race.

The easiest way to reduce your cars accelaration time is to reduce weight. Remove your spare wheel & brace, boot carpet, rear seats (should come out easy). Remove anything you can with the tools you have.
That should shave off a few tenths.

A solid fuel booster rocket like they use to help get Hercules aircraft in the air would work nicely
I belive there was a "Darwin Award" related to this type of setup....
Well here it is.....
The Arizona Highway Patrol came upon a pile of smoldering metal embedded into the side of a cliff rising above the road at the apex of a curve. The wreckage resembled the site of an airplane crash, but it was a car. The type of car was unidentifiable at the scene. The lab finally figured out what it was and what had happened.
It seems that a guy had somehow obtained a JATO unit (Jet Assisted Take Off-actually a solid fuel rocket) that is used to give heavy military transport planes an extra "push" for taking off from short airfields. He had driven his Chevy Impala out into the desert and found a long, straight stretch of road. Then he attached the JATO unit to his car, jumped in, got up some speed and fired off the JATO!
The facts as best could be determined are that the operator of the 1967 Impala hit JATO ignition at a distance of approximately 3.0 miles from the crash site. This was established by the prominent scorched and melted asphalt at that location. The JATO, if operating properly, would have reached maximum thrust within 5 seconds, causing the Chevy to reach speeds well in excess of 350 mph and continuing at full power for an additional 20-25 seconds. The driver, soon to be pilot, most likely would have experienced G-forces usually reserved for dog-fighting F-14 jocks under full afterburners, basically causing him to become insignificant for the remainder of the event. However, the automobile remained on the straight highway for about 2.5 miles (15-20)seconds before the driver applied and completely melted the brakes, blowing the tires and leaving thick rubber marks on the road surface, then becoming airborne for an additional 1.4 miles and impacting the cliff face at a height of 125 feet leaving a blackened crater 3 feet deep in the rock.
Most of the driver's remains were not recoverable; however, small fragments of bone, teeth and hair were extracted from the crater and fingernail and bone shards were removed from a piece of debris believed to be a portion of the steering wheel.
Sounds like fun eh??

It's a myth... Jesse James did it tho for monster garage. Search the archives and you might find it. That episode was one of the best ones to date.
