An apparatus and method is provided for increasing the effective horsepower of an internal combustion engine. The apparatus consists of a cooling chamber mounted so as to be in communication with the air inlet portion of the carburetor of the engine. In the method of this invention, the ambient air prior to introduction into the carburetor is substantially cooled to quantitatively increase the weight of oxygen in the volume of air introduced into the carburetor. This makes it possible to feed an additional amount of fuel to the engine while maintaining the optimum air-fuel ratio, thereby effectively increasing the horsepower obtainable from the engine.
