You can probably advance it a few degrees and use high test octane gas. Then you get the extra power at the cost of more expensive fuel.



Remove your fan. It's winter, you won't overheat -- and if it starts to boil over, just turn the heater full blast.



Empty out the junk in back. Lighten the car.



Align you front end to zero toe-in, zero toe-out.



Jack up your tire pressure to 75 psi (only kidding, only kidding).
