Off-Brand - Not terribly useful, except in some mind games while you're revving .
Black Grease - Just saying, THAT would give me a headache from the constant FoV changes, nvm its interaction with perks like Shadowborn.
Big Buckle - I... don't see the benefit here.
Tuned Carburetor - THAT is WAAAAY too much for a single add-on. There's a reason the Old Tuning guide needed to be changed.
Pig house - Mediocre. Might help somewhat, especially with the oil, but you're not going to want to be moving at rev-speed.

Honestly the only one I really like here are the Pighouse Gloves. Off-Brand Motor Oil is decent though.
I like the concept of Black Grease, but to be honest we need an FOV slider anyways. I also like the idea of bringing back the old Carburettor Tuning Guide as a Very Rare add-on, however it shouldn't decrease charge time, that'd be OP. Instead, it should decrease the time penalty of getting stunned after hitting a wall.
EDIT: I just realized the penalty of running the Tuned Carburettor has! It decreases the overheat limit, making you more likely to overheat, but you get faster charge time. I love that idea, nevermind what I said earlier!

Off-Brand: That's the aim. To be like Beast of Prey but for revving. Not a huge game-changer but I could see myself using it when practicing around tall loops.
Black Grease: Oh gosh, you are right. Maybe I could limit it to Chainsaw Sprints instead? Not likely. Combining this with Monitor would be super jarring, even though (I forgot to mention this) field of view gains don't stack. Thanks for pointing this out.
Big Buckle: For gimmick builds using the terror radius. Yes, Undetectable is far more reliable for stealthing, but I think embiggening the terror radius could encourage playstyles more focused on confusion and aggression using TR perks. This is more of an experiment of my own if anything.
Tuned Carburetor: It's one of those trade-off add-ons, like Blight's Adrenaline Vial and Demogorgon's Deer Lung. You have one stat dramatically reduced, while somewhat increasing the rest across the board. The numbers can be tweaked and the downside can be re-thought (like reducing movement speed while revving or increasing the penalty for overheating) if need be. Trust me, I wouldn't want every Hillbilly I face to run this either, nor do I want Hillbilly players to feel like they need this add-on in order to play effectively.
Pighouse Gloves: I don't really know what you mean here. I figured this would be good for chases all around. My only concern is it might become too oppressive if the movement speed bonus is set too high.

Lemme explain better.
We have a comparable add-on to this (Gloves) in the form of Shiny Pin on Huntress.
The add-on would allow for some margin of error such as respect the pallet while revving, only for survivor to go for another loop and the extra speed just might help you land that curve.
It wouldn't be bad, but the better the Billy, the less useful the add-on becomes.
