Yes it will pull harder! Colder air means more timing can be achieved without detonation.
And colder air means a denser oxygen level.More oxygen + more fuel =More power!!
Its nice to get free HP .

the colder drier air will make the car run much better....when it gets in the 50's my car pulls incredibly.....not soo much in the 90 though

I wish we had cooler temps like that here in NM. Upper 90's lately. I love going out when the temps are in the 60's it's just soooo much fun. Especially when it's F/I. One can only put so much ice in the I/C tank.

Don't bet the hacienda on it. It's going to reach the upper 80's-low 90's for the next week or 2 with the humidity hovering around 60-70% up here.

I'd KILL for 60-70% humidity. Around here it's 95%+ from may until september. New Orleans sits between the largest lake in Louisiana, the largest river in the country, and the freaking gulf of Mexico! It's like a steambath every day until winter.

The last time I was there was back in the 70's(almost 50 years ago), and it wasn't that bad. But things can change.
And thanks for your recommendations. I'll keep themin mind if I ever get down your way again.
