i had a cai on my last mustang and had no problems with it because of the colder air. like everyone else said, more cool air = more power; so the only bad thing i think could happen is when that extra power decides to show itself when you're driving in snow (that was the only problem i had )

And for those that don't already know, the better performance in the cold is partially due to the cooler intake air but also (and probably MORE significant) due to the engines ability to eliminate more waste heat. These engines will heat soak terribly on hot days and/or on consecutive runs causing MAJOR loss of power.

Nuke,
you're like the Mustang Forums version of "Bill Nye the Science Guy", ...except with Mustangs instead of science.
...and your name is not Bill.

I believe you meant to say that cold air contains more oxygen (O2).

Any given volume of air has a greater oxygen concentration at colder temperatures than it does at hotter temperatures.
