Don't know squat about salt wetness. But if air is denser then it takes a
linear amount of horsepower to overcome the increased drag caused by it. Hot
air is less dense, reduces lift and drag. Also hot air decreases HP. But for
those on juice or pressurized and intercooled, then makes not much
difference. So if those conditions are met, run at the hottest part of the
day. For normal aspirated run at mid morning.
And Keith, why does an educated college dude like yourself pretend to be
dumb? You went to Emory Ridel or somewhere didn't you?
mayf, the rednecked, very ignorant, desert rat, just ask anyone!
