Default powerloss between 30° and 100° intake temps?

just curious how much of a power loss there would be with that temp difference? i had done some logs previously 60-100 in 30 degree intake temps and when i measured the same thing at the track it was almost 1 second slower exactly .8 seconds.i was logging speeds just for changes in the 3rd gear pull while messing with the tune/timing etc.. The only difference now is the dana 60 is now installed and the intake temperatures were up around 100 at the track. basically back my car was the same speed 60-100 at the track on 13lbs as it was on 9.5lbs in the 30° weather.

Im not sure of the exact power loss but im sure its significant. Meth injection certainly helps.

I run an AIS progressive kit, love it. I saw 60 degree drops in IAT2s throughout the dyno runs with 100% meth.

Some is attributed to the intercooler though.

It would depend on how much timing your IAT timing tables are pulling at those temps, but the cooler denser air definatly makes a difference on boosted cars,
Meth for the win..

The dana 60 is also slowing you down a little bit.
