What a nice change!
It feels like I have 50 more RWHP in this crisp cool air. It has seemed that summer has been holding on forever. Since my car has been a Venom, it has always been warm and humid.

I know there is a coorection factor on the Dyno, but I swear the car had more than 565 at the wheels this morning! Any one else have similar experiences?

YES! It was 42 degrees when I left for work this morning and the snake LOVED it! Free HP, it doesn't get much better than that...

<FONT face="Comic Sans MS">Cold air = More HP
Cold tires = Less traction
Cold Air + Cold Tires = A lot less traction then you might be used to.

Something to keep in mind as Fall sets in.....</FONT f>

Ron,

Great point. I now find my tires breaking loose above 5000rpm's in 3rd... at around 100mph. Scared the crap out of me the first time.

Made the adjustment, and now am ready to roll!!!!
