Default Small things that make some HP

According to this little book that i have they did some tests on a couple of motors with some small mods. I just going to post them so others can see. The largest gains are throught out he whole dyno test.

First test is removing your power steering pump B16a
STOCK________REMOVED_______LARGEST GAIN
154.0-HP______158.2___________4.2
114.7TQ_______116.2___________3.4

Next is a underdrive pulley vs. stock B16a
STOCK________INSTALLED______LARGEST GAIN
150.2-HP______152.0___________4.4
111.8-TQ______114.8___________3.1

Next is a 20w-50 oil vs. red line race oil D16z
STOCK________INSTALLED______LARGEST GAIN
113.0-HP_______117.3__________4.5
101.0-TQ_______103.0__________3.0

Next test is turning on your ac and lights vs. off D15b
STOCK off_____ON___________LARGEST GAIN
100.8-HP______99.2__________2.3


Hope this helps some people
