'en cold or Will an SC work in this temp? Burrrrrrrr

shumby · 03-01-2011, 09:05 AM

On my way to the gym this morning and this is what I see after 5 mins of driving.

Yes that is an intake temp of -16 F and an out side temp of - - - C. Which means lower then -33 C.

So will GTM's SC stage one kit work in Canadian winters? YES.

That said. plug in the block heater. The car will fail to start and flood if the block temp is -9F ( I know I did it) So as the gym does not have plugs out side. I had to cut the workout short just 30mins.

Nice to see the SC can handle some extreme conditions. Makes me happy to have temps in the 40's today.

How does the cold effect output?

Cold makes more power. Denser air. But I have no dyno number to prove it.
