More boost with colder outside temps?
#1
Pardon my ignorance, Boos is new to me as I have usually been more of a nitrous guy.
I have a whipple on my 4.8 and have been very happy with the results. My main goal was to get the little 4.8 to tow better, which is why I jumped on the whipple. (Got a great deal on it)
It was tuned at 6 psi on the dyno and made good power on a conservative tune.
Today, on my way to work, I jumped on the gas some. (35 degrees outside) Truck pulled really hard. The boost gauge showed 8 pounds.
Is it possble to se this much change due to the cold temps?
For the whipple, which is non intercooled, does the cold weather really helps its performance that much, or am I amagining things?

yup,simply put you're starting with colder denser air ot start and compressing it just as much so you'll see more of a return.
boost vehicles love cold weather power-wise, and aren't the happiest in heat and humidity (which for me is heavy towing season, between the 24 ft car hauler or the 33 ft cigarette boat)
