Noticeably slower...

Redline686 · 06-29-2005, 02:49 PM

98 degrees here in the big Stl. 108 degree heat index. Heat warning for the area. My car is soooooo much slower, i can feel it a lot. It's rediculous how much i can feel it. Feels like i lost 10-15 horsepower as opposed to the other days this week where it was around 80-85

Got the A/C on too? Mine feels quite 'boggy' lately... high temps, high humidity, and the A/C on = slow car!

I don't use the A/C for that reason. Personally, as long as I have enough Gatorade, I don't mind 100 degree weather, actually I'm going conditioning for football in a couple mins. But i just don't like my slow car. I was catching up with an old friend today and trying to show off my car's speed but even though she said it was fast, it just wasn't as fast as it is most of the time.

yeh and im about to go race a mustang....does the heat affect our boosted cars more than N/A?

if the intercooler is working correctly it shouldnt be to bad. But it will affect it.

In which arent all of them wired "improperly" therefore none of them are working correctly?

Well if you re-wired it correctly then in theory it SHOULD be working correctly.....

It dropped back down to normal around here, 68 this morning, car felt like new again. Mainly since the A/C was off...
