Free HP Gain!

Anyone else feel the HP gain from the cooler season air? I was driving to school today and I was running a bit late, I shifted into 3rd and before I could put my hand back on the wheel the car had some hard torque steer - scared the crap out of me. Air temp was around 48°F and if I get gains like this right now - let it snow let it snow!

the southwest is a different story. I don't think the weather over there knows how to be under 100

no doubt we are far and apart from each other im sure ... I have seen only one other black SS and a red SS on the road ... other than that LT's and LS's all over the place ... I plan on going to the track soon but I wanna do my 3000~4000 check up first and once thats done im gonna do the airbox mod but I think I can make a twist to the design since lots of people are getting the CEL even after the reset

Cool temps and I can not keep the rubber sticking to the pavement. I do feel the cool air and it is so good to my SS SC. I am still running with 1 gallon of Toluene in full tank and it seems to help also. I raced a new camaro and new mock1 mustang and did not do too well because I could not get the rubber to stick. It sounded really cool though with the 3 of us punching it off of the line. 2 V8's and one super charger whine for me. I just wish I had video of it. It was vary cool.

I too now am brought to tears and if I was driving im sure the tear would have trouble sticking to the road cus it wouldn't wanna leave my eye as the car and I smoothly drive off into the sunset ... ( me thinks its time for sleep )

I live in the Dallas area so all we got was a little wind, no rain at all. The temps never cooled off any though. Some of my family lives in northern Louisiana were the major part of the storm came through (tropical storm by this time) and they got a good bit of rain and some wind but there temps never went down either.

We are supposed to get a cool front tomorrow and its supposed to drop into the mid 80's which I guess isnt too bad since its been almost 100 here everyday.
