I get a lot of calls each day
asking the same question "How do I make more power (HP)?".
The answer may not always be exactly the same, and different engines are
affected by different factors, but here I'll explore some of the most
common answers and solutions. Some are pure physics and others are
applicable to specific motors.IPP (myself included), has worked for years in the
