wieght reduction isn't going to make more horsepower. it'll change your power to wieght ratio, but its not going to change your Power output.

also eric j boi (yeah i fixed your name) there is NEVER a way to cheaply gain power unless your ignorant have a turbo car and just through a manual boost controller on it and crank up the boost. but thats also extremly stupid. also you never said what kinda of car you have, year, model. etc.

do what i did on my 88, put some throttle return springs on the waste gate actuators and that should up the boost about 4-10PSI.

As a spelling that is deliberately altered for reasons of gender identification, sexuality, or group affinity; see Boi (gender)
In goth (and sometimes punk) subculture boi is used to refer to a young man not afraid to experiment with traditionally "feminine" things such as eyeliner, frills, etc. and as a protest against gender roles
As an alternative spelling, such as the rapper Big Boi and the song titled "Sk8er Boi" by Avril Lavigne
Frederik Boi, a Belgian professional football player
Paolo Boi, (1528-1598) Italian chess player who beat the Pope
Saint Boi de Llobregat, a town near Barcelona
Boi music, a style of Central Amazon folk music now moving into the mainstream in Brazil
BOI, the airport code for Boise International Airport in Idaho
The Portuguese word for ox.
"Sk8er Boi", a song by Avril Lavigne
BOI is an abbreviation of:

or


Boi (plural: bois) is a term used within the lesbian community to denote a submissive butch in the BDSM community and a young butch in the butch-femme community.[1] It is also used as a term of endearment for butches by femmes.[1] It may also be used in the gay community to refer to a young-appearing (or relatively young) bisexual or gay male, especially one who has effeminate characteristics.[1] The term can also be used by anyone who wishes to distinguish from heterosexual or heteronormative identities.[1] The term is commonly used by those who are female to male transgendered as well.[1]

It may also refer to a female-born or female-bodied person—sometimes transsexual, transgendered, or intersexed, sometimes not—that generally does not identify as, or only partially identifies as feminine, female, a girl, or a woman. Some "bois" identify as one or more of these, but they almost always identify as lesbians, dykes, or queers. Many are also genderqueer or practice gender****. Bois may prefer a range of pronouns, including "he", "she", or gender-neutral pronouns such as "hir", "sie", "zie", and "ey".[2] The term has found increasing usage in the larger LGBT culture.

Boi doesn't equal horsepower. so don't call your car Boi. It won't help.

500 shot of nitrous. It'll make it WAY faster and only cost a few hundred, I'm not joking.

... he never said he wanted it to be safe or reliable. Lots of horsepower for little money is all he requested.
