could have been bogging due to the heat?

i think you would know if it was fuel cut. i remember that feeling like someone suckerpunched your car in the gut

Icemark

Your, using 20W50 oil in this high temps that we have been having right???

And, you will have slightly retarded timing when it get warm like it has been, comparied to the cooler weather we get in the winter.

Fingers

EDIT...

In warm weather you will be experiencing a slight performance loss. Always.

Although is your cold air intake TRULY plumbed to cold air, or is it still sucking in warm air from the engine bay?

i actually have a tube going into the air box. but i think it might be what icemark said i do use 20w50 so that might be it

TIIs should always run 20w50, even in summer, right?

mac_dad6

Amused unless it gets very cold in winter you can run it all year round. I use 20w50 in summer and 10w30 in the winter.
