So my folks asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I told 'em I wanted the FRPP Cold Air kit for my car, it's a nice safe tune and comes with a spiffy air box thats says Ford Racing.

On the way back from the folk's place last night I decided to see what happens when you add a good bit of power and mix it with some very cool air (31F), this is what I learned;

A) Factory Goodyears in cool weather (granted they are summer tires) are useless

B) My car might be a brick, but WOW thats the fastest I've ever hit 140mph in my life.

That is all...

Pics/vids or it didn't happen.

/talk about hot air...

//I'm just playin', honest, I believe ya.

Y'know I've thought about it, but I'd probably end up like that guy in japan that pimped the F40 vids and got busted.

Although if I ever get a chance to buzz around on a road course I might just do it

They do run sweet when it's colder out don't they & purr like a Panther smooth.

My Bullitt was kinda wild the other day. Slightly Damp highway 30 degrees and 3/4 throttle in second gave me a thrill. Had to go home and change my underwareZ.

I ran on the dyno at lower temps (the garage had no heat).
It ran a solid 15 more HP than a warm day (5% gain).

I tried to estimate power gain based on air density that night, but I'm unsure with an S/C equipped vehicle if its a relavent calculation? At the very least, I know the engine wasn't pulling any timing and I was getting all the power.

There's a race track near your parents house in VA??
