Default Superchargers??

Anybody that has a supercharger, does your car just not run the same in the summer? It's my 1st summer with the SC, I took it out today and it just didn't seem to be the same as when it's a little cooler out. Anybody have this problem?

makes sense that will higher temps and muggier air would slow it down.

All cars run slower in the hotter months. Less oxygen in the air. That's why I don't race from May-September. Especially for a motor car. -Mark

Two effects. #1 Hot air doesn't make power.
#2 if you have a intercooler, it doesn't work as well rto cool down the new hotter air, thus making your charge even hotter and slower.

Methanol injection. Try it, serves many purposes.

I have noticed my car seems to be running alittle rough now but I think I have another problem because last summer idle was fine and it ran great. I have also noticed I am getting worse gas mileage. I plan on getting my car tuned again hopefully that will solve my problem.
