Horsepower and temperature


#1

I found a rule of thumb that says 10deg of temp difference is worth 1% of hp.

I’ve been studying Summer/Fall Traqmate data vs. last Feb data and trying to figure out why I seem to be getting worse. It turns out that as it got warmer I started losing straightaway talent.

Not sure I’m understanding your hypothesis, but the deal is the warmer the air, the less horsepower (colder air is denser). Just ask the Red’s at your local drag strip how that 75 shot of NOS is working :wink:

We are saying the same thing.
