Default Finally Cooler Weather in Louisiana

We finally got some much needed cooler weather in Louisiana. On Tuesday temps were in the 80s with high humidity and today we wake up to temps in upper 30s. My truck sure likes the cooler weather. There is a noticable difference in acceleration. Hopefully I can get the underdrive pulley installed today and get out to the track tomorrow night. With this cool weather, TB Bypass, UnderDrive Pulley, and Custom Tune I might be able to get a new best, keeping my Fingers crossed for a 14.9x pass.

It was 11 degrees above zero here this morning, talk about an intercooler affect!!!
It really doen't help making more power when the pavement is iced over though.

Let us know what you run. Also where are you going to run? State Capitol, or No Problem, or Eunice?
