So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Know How to Get More Horsepower

By Marielle Solidum


Horsepower is a hilarious thing - this is because we tend to want more if we have more; but in most cases, more horsepower means a more expensive automobile, it can also mean a combination of some expensive car improvements. However, in our daily life having more horsepower isn't really the key, unless you're a regular track day racer of course. What is horsepower? Are there any easier ways to get it? Yes, of course!

Not all modifications needs to have an excessive amount of money, time and labor. There are numerous ways you can have in order to maximize your engine's potential. One way is by simply keeping track of operating fundamentals. Studying about these factors may help us get more knowledge some definitive ideas.

What is Torque and Horsepower?

Horsepower is basically the rate at which an engine works. Engine output consists of two main aspects - horsepower and torque. Torque is the turning force produced by the engine and is actually what is responsible for the fast speed and smoking tires of cars. It is the actual work done by the engine and determines how much of a load an engine can move. More horsepower means a higher rate of work. To make it simple, torque is responsible for acceleration, while horsepower is the rate of acceleration.

Petrol engines can produce more power per liter of displacement than the diesel engine which has the same displacement; but the diesel engine can produce more or equal amount of torque than the petrol engine. If you observe, all commercial and heavy vehicles use diesel engines. This is because of the massive low-speed torque they produce. Cars with diesel engines will never win any drag race but they are ideal for mountain travels.

More Horsepower

To make your engine produce more horsepower, the key is to keep it in optimum running condition. Here's a checklist:

- Always utilize the highly recommended grade of oil and stick to one brand of gas once you determine that it's the best for your automobile. This ensures consistency. This keeps the engine running clean and reliable, while also helping to increase engine life.

- Ensure that the air intake and air filter are clean. check the air filter regularly to make absolutely sure that it isn't getting blocked, clogged or saturated with particles. Like the air intake, the exhaust system is of equal importance. Get your exhaust checked for emissions and clogged components. High fuel consumption and consequential high emissions usually means that there is improper combustion or malfunctioning components. You can also consider using a high volume performance air filter and even a free flow exhaust. But you should remember that not all states allow this type of air filters and exhausts.

- While there are gas additives available that promise to "keep your engine clean and deliver maximum performance"; avoid using them. Instead, choose products that don't have any physical impact on the engine and its functions like Magnum gas Rx. It's a device that uses radio frequency waves to alter the molecular components of your gasoline which gives standard gasoline the performance of higher octane gas. This leads to cleaner combustion, better gasoline usage, more horsepower and less discharges with just a simple installation procedure.

Indeed, having more horsepower can easily be attained. You just have to go about it in the most effective way.
