Air temperature = cool. (How much more power?) Hey all, just curious if anyone has numbers for the h.p. gains realized by the LS1 at certain outside temperatures?
Today was about 77, and tonight is 55 outside. I just drove the car, and h.p. is definately up a good bit.
I know this is to be expected, but I'm just wondering about numbers? Is there a "golden rule" about this stuff? Like every 10 degree drop equals "xx" h.p.
Thanks! And if you haven't heard, I've got video posted now.

Re: Air temperature = cool. (How much more power?) Golden rule I've heard if for every 10 degrees you drop the intake charge you gain 1% more power. Of course if the humidity and baro changed from daylight untill dark, then you're definelty in for a change you can feel <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />
