93 LT1 Vette

It's getting hot already in Texas. 97 here with 80% humidity the last few days. My question is, does a car on a nitrous pass show less of a loss in poor humid conditions than a N/A or boosted car?

I would imagine it would over a boosted car, what part of tx are you in? It's been highs inthe lower 80s in dfw.

I have never run nitrous but from what I see at the track nitrous cars are more weather consistent than NA.

NA is the worst nitrous is much better but boosted car will see the smallest loss of HP since air is controlled forced into the engine at a certain PSI rather than being sucked in.

Thanks for the replies guys.

My question stems from the fact that I've noticed a big difference in throttle response when driving home after work here lately, with the increase in ambient air temp.

Since the temps outside have gone up. I installed a 180 thermostat and drive temps are about 185 on the freeway but in traffic temps go up to the usual 195 to 200. My tune brings the fans on at 190.

I was just wondering if the cold nitrous evens things out in crappy air conditions.

It def helps over a NA set up.

Yes, nitrous is the big DA "equalizer".
Adverse DA affects boosted setups typically more than nitrous setups. Key word: typically. If the boosted system has enough intercooling ability, it can overcome that IAT sensitivity.
