Cold tempertures
I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to figure out the horse power gains you get from a big out door temperture change from one day to the next. You know, like when that first of the year clold snap come through. Say seventy degrees and maybe 40 degrees.

On a normally aspirated car, it's not that big of a difference,
maybe a handful of hp per 100. On a turbo or supercharged
car, it's HUGE because the intake charge is so much cooler
and denser that you can cram a lot more air into the cylinders
without detonation.
