To Add Or Not To Add, That Is The Question.

i have always had trouble with my cakes not rising very high, i used to use betty crocker but i found duncan hines rises better but not high enough. i dont know whether my oven just sucks or what. i have heard of people adding merinque powder to the cake mix to make it rise higher. i was wondering if this works and can i use it with box mixes or will it conflict with the ingredients already in it.
I use box mixes and I always add about a tablespoon of merinque powder to it. It doesn't effect any of the other ingredients and it makes your cake rise higher.
You can try adding a tbsp of meringue powder to your cake mix.
Here's a multi-linked thread on doctored cake mixes and add-in's, along with all the enhancer/extender recipes:

Also included are Wilton charts for batter amounts, baking times, etc.
