Runs better in cold weather. How to keep it?
My C4S is stock, 6 speed ... and in the cooler weather it’s a bit more raspy sounding, more responsive, feels quicker.



So How do I keep this behavior all year long?


cool air intake? Exhaust? a chip?

What's the explanation for this?


Thanks in advance

Pretty standard for any engine to perform this way.
Go to a racetrack and see different track times based upon different temps. We always run faster laps with colder air.
