Default I'm one of few in SW Florida who salivates when it turns cold!

Cold for here, that is, meaning lows in the 30s and highs in the 60s F -- which is happening now. My personal preference is the mid-40s -- cold enough for extra boost but not so cold that the summer tires lose grip.

Default Is it possible to get too much boost with too cold of weather causing

possible damage to anything? If the answer is no and that the engine ECU compensates for that, then what does it matter if it's 30 outside or 80 below? I would think at some point in time the air temperature is going to lose out to the engine management system backing off the boost. No?

Most IC Engines produce more power in the cold....

Default That's -20 Fahrenheit, not Celcius, Mr. Science

hell -30 C is -22 F, & it's -40 F with the Wind chill, of course -40 F = -40 C
