Best Answer

No wheel weights control tire balance and have nothing to do with horsepower. The horsepower your engine produces is entirely produced by the engine. You can get better use of that horsepower by limiting the amount of weight of your vehicle but leave the wheel weights on the wheels or you'll be riding a bucking bronco while your trying to drive.
