Air temps and impact on engine load
So its been 2 months since my last proper log and I decided to do a new one. The only difference was that the weather had turned significantly hotter. Since I ran the car at the drag strip and noticed that my speed at mid track and at the end of the quarter mile had dropped by about 3 km/h, I took a closer look at the logs to see where the power loss was coming from. The first picture you see here shows RPM, Engine Load, Intake Air Temps. The second pic shows engine load compared in 2d format.
It is very clear that the hotter weather has resulted in less dense air and therefore loss of power. No I know why my car feels noticeably slower during summer!
