Cool air gives more horsepower but requires more
>horsepower to cut through the denser air so you break even.

Dave,
You have a point but.....here I go again......do you really break even? I
think.....aaaarrrrrggggghhhhh!......that the engine makes a little more
power than the increase in drag. So speed goes up a little.....may be that
the mixture was rich the afternoon before and the denser air just made the
mixture better.....and thus more power. Aero drag with density change I can
calculate but knowing what happens to the power.....precisely....is near
impossible at the salt........for me.
Skip(not going to WOS....bored.......turbos next year so will run faster in
the afternoon)
