I see you're right across the bay from me, more people here from Md. than I realized.

On topic though... keep in mind that every 10 degrees cooler there is a 1% increase in power.... hence the reason so many people try to find every advantage possible to keep intake temps down. Sitting in traffic or just idling, WILL bring temps up... even if only by a marginal amount, every little bit we're talking power.
