Routed my AC into my airbox for the coldest air possible, and got a permanent oil change.
I also routed my exhaust into the supercharger so that I am now zero-emissions!


Once I get my car started I will be a millionaire

Why not just eliminate that inefficient supercharger and go for Direct Exhaust Injection?

If you put it in your airbox it should make sure that your car breathes only the freshest air too

Um... it's not the air-freshener itself that adds 10hp, the power comes from applying a decal letting everyone know that you are running with fresh air.

10hp from front windshield placement
9hp from front wheel arch, +1hp for each additional decal, for a maximum of 50hp for all decals combined.
5hp for any rear facing surface.

Similarly, I've calculated about +1hp for each letter removed from the back of the car (debadging). The dealership decal counts for +5hp combined.

I removed the valvestems from my rear tires. It lets me get much more traction off a launch because now the tire sidewalls can deform like wrinkle wall tires do.
