I can attest to that!!! I was running 15.4psi on a race gas map on 104 octane last weekend at the track, ambient temps were in the low 30's...I was making tons of power, but no traction even on drag radials until middle of 3rd gear
. On that same map in 70 degree weather I should have been seeing 17psi or so. I was able to pick up 28mph in the 2nd 1/8th at the track, thats pretty damned good!
If I had been boosting to 17psi in that cold weather, well, I just dont know.
