Easy ways to gain horsepower?

Question

i have a 96 dodge 1500 v8 360 and was wondering if there are any easy ways to gian horse power just in the drive way with a rench or screwdriver, wana get as much as i can without having to buy any parts

Answer 1

You do it very easy. No tools required.

RPM x torque divided by 5252 = horse pewer,. All tht is required is an increase in RPM to gain horsepower

Answer 2

It can't be done without parts. This engine is computer controlled and there is no provision for idle speed adjustment. If your idle is too low you can remove the air cleaner from the throttle body and use a rag and or tooth brush with some gasoline on it to clean the throttle plate and bore. Carbon builds around the plate and restricts the airflow around it causing a low unstable idle. HP and torque will require money for parts.
