            Quite technically, it does make your car faster over a short time. When yo turn the heat on, air runs over the heater core, which is basically a small radiator. Then the coolant that is now a couple degrees cooler goes back into the engine black and cools the cylinder walls a small percentage more than if you didnt have the heat on. Thus gaining you a cooler engine environment, which is more efficient at producing power. But after all this you may gain 1-2 hp in the 5 mins the heater is on. Pointless...

                        going on a limb here but...

                        turning the heater on will keep the engine cooler and in turn will make the viscous fan not lock up quite as much.

                                Not really

                                Engines are more efficient (economicly and power-wise) at higher temperatures
