Recovered HP? Is it Possible?

Whats up guys? Well I have a 98 GLE (auto) with 69K on it and was wondering if there is anything I can change to make smoother acceleration or recover lost HP? I chaned Sparks, Oil, Fuel filter and stuff for the 60K tune up and I Change oil every 3K. Anything else with that much millage need to be cleaned out, and I cleaned the TB already, that Might bring back some HP or is just good to prolong the life of the engine, or car, or anything? INfo is much appreciated! Thanks

Yeah, steelies suck for style, but in terms of rotational inertia, they are better than 16s or 17s.

I can see where stock 15" steelies would be better than 16" or 17" rims because of rotatoinal interia and greater radius, but wouldn't 15" aluminum rims be optimal because they'd be ligher?

yup lighter rims will recover you lots of HP! As for grounding wires, I got the Hypergrounds, I'm not sure if I felt anything more with them or not, probably not worth it in my opinion.
