What should you look forward to? Heat or humidity? For instance right now in south florida it is 73 degrees and 100% humidity. Whereas during the day its in the 90s and 70% humidity. For future reference, what doesnt effect the cars as much? I know 0 humidity, or maybe just a little with about 55 degrees is almost perfect. Or would 34 degrees be perfect?
Just curious so whenever i go to the track, or out to meets and stuff, ill know whats good bad better or worse.

Re: What should you look forward to? Heat or humidity? I am not a weather guy so I will say it "TEXAS" style just wait for it to get colder outside so the car will run better. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: What should you look forward to? Heat or humidity? Standard NASA atmospheric conditions are 59 degrees F, zero humidity, and 29.92" baro pressure. These conditions would give a density altitude of zero feet (Sea level @ standard NASA day)
Aircraft turbine engines are JetCal'd (tuned) for advertised rated thrust output (power) under these standard NASA atmospheric conditions.
High ambient (air) temperatures effects power output to a greater extent than high humidity.
Ron,
