H/C/I 99 WS6 vs. 2000 Lightning again... Ok, here's the deal: before when I raced this guy from a roll I just walked away instantly, from a stop I slaughtered him. This time from a 60-65 roll it took me a second before I started pulling away from him. From a stop I still destroyed him pretty bad tho. So my question is what would cause me to not pull as hard, only changes since last time is my true dual exhaust and I can tell a big diff in power from before, lots more torque and pulls harder. I don't think the exhaust would have slowed me down cause I can tell a SOTP diff. My rear tires are freaking really bald, could I have been spining at 60-65??? It was 33degrees out, could the cold air really have helped him that much? Thanx for the input...

A more free flowing exhaust sometimes can cause a loss of low end torque, but it will pull harder in the upper RPM's usually....
air does make a significant difference for a FI engine. Colder air is more oxygen rich so technically in colder air a supercharged/turbo engine may actually produce a couple of lbs. more boost. I know when I had a turbo car the difference between hot and muggy outside and cool and brisk was a pretty big difference.

Hmmm, ya I knew that just wasn't sure how much of a diff. How should an A4 LS1 with my mods and no converter yet pull away from a L at a 60-65 roll?? I know these ?'s are up in the air just curious.

My H/C car roasts the tires on cold days at anything less than a 65 punch. Prolly spinning.

If you went from a roll, then the cold air DID do him good. It would have made his trction even worse from a start, but since it was from a heavy roll, that SC was loving the cold air. If you had gone from anything under 30mph, you would have done even more damage to him.
