question about cold air peformance on st Options

[MonsterBOX]

my car seems to have like twice as much pull when i start it up cold wait about 15 secs and drive off...when the car is warm it seems slower....does this have anything to do with temperature of the air in the engine creating higher boost? many people have said that on a dyno cold air intake systems show hardly any improvement....well in a dyno u r not traveling down the road allowing colder outside air to be forced into the engine, shouldnt this be taken into consideration? if i installed a cold air intake would i notice a difference in performance related to how my car drives cold?

First off, you should never drive your car hard when it's cold. It's really bad for the engine. Second, your car doesn't produce "boost" unless it has some sort of forced induction, like a turbocharger.

But yes, air temperature affects power, and you will get small gains from a cold air intake. On very cold nights, I can feel a difference in the way my car accelerates compared to on very hot days.
