Be careful on your diet selection combo.
My experience confirms this 4-5 HP., but it was the cheapest performance increase I have.

Want another cheap gain 3-4 HP buy a shorter serpentine belt and skip the AC pump

My light weight battery starts the car fine in street use my car see about 7,000 miles a year never had an issue. It's 18 months old never on a tender.
