Hehe, shoot some nitrous off everytime I need to get up my driveway in my HX. Not a bad idea
For under $400, I'd say you're pretty out of luck to get any torque. your best bet would probably be a CAI with a good filter element and a decent catback. But that'll probably be around $600. You can always try lightening it

Uh, NOS (n20) is not 91...
Octane comes in ratings, 87, 89, 91, 93, etc...

I think he meant that octane is not gonna do the trick.

Re: more horsepower (senbei)
Hand port your head and throttle body with a dremel and polisher, remove AC and PS, scrape sound deadening and tar from the underpinnings of your frame, lose the back seats and interior, make a homemade CAI with PVC pipe and a K&N filter (cerca $50 and just as good), invest in an EX transmission ($150?), adjust your timing up to get maximum power without detonation, etc.
With the leftover, get a nice high-flow cat and quiet, straight-through muffler from Magnaflow, get some pipes bent (no bigger than 2 inches for your application: you don't want to lose the little torque you have now) and you're all set.

no, it doesn't. but you made it sound like using a higher octane fuel will actually make horsepower. and unless he is running over 10:1 compression, it wont do anything.
typos own me
