Cold weather in Atl!!

You northern guys can laugh it up, but it finally was in the low 30's here yesterday and last night and this is the first time its been kinda cold since I have done my mods and MAN this thing feels like it gained 30 whp lol. I have turboback 3", mbc, and intake at 20psi. It pegs like 22 in the weather and feels soo much faster. Tires actually spun just stomping it in first gear no launch or anything.

I haven't been keeping tabs of the temp lately, but last Friday night when I went out it was -38 (-57 wind chill). Yay for South Dakota winter!

It got down to 16 in Marietta (NorthEast suburb of Atl) This morning. just be careful in the colder temps with boost on the top end or you may be pulling timing up top, or worse blown motor. Alot of people are still running summer tunes that will push more boost in the winter becasue the temps are colder out. (cold air is more dense than warm air) I would also make sure you have a good winter oil in your car like Mobil1 5w-30 or 0w-30.

You're lucky it's only low 30s. Although better power EVOs don't seem to like cold weather, the idling and driving suck until the engine is warm.

7 degress F this morning with 15mph wind. Southerners are not allowed to complain about the cold, nor are northerners allowed to complain about heat during the summer. It's law.

Hasn't been above 20F for the past week here. I bet the average day/night is something like 8F. We're supposed to warm up tomorrow to a high of freezing!
