Default Weather and a Nitro 4 Tec

If the weather is dropping below the 40 degree mark here in North Carolina, should I be running the fuel mixture more rich, lean, or don't touch a thing. The 2.5 engine set up I have is modified for racing, but they don't affect the fuel. I ran it this evening in about 36 degree weather (started at room temp though) the car ran about 210 degrees and ran just a little sluggish.


---------------------I once saw a guy with a 75 mph racer bragging as he pulled the sarter at the track, 75 mph right into a curb. Next time, try handling skills before speed there scooter.---------------------

i think your crazy for running your 4-tec in this weather
THIS IS MONSTER TRUCK SEASON BABY!
and id use some 30% race fuel with low oil to keep your engine running warm
