Well..spring is finally here. When are you's planning to put your Rx's on the road (for those who had them on blocks)... April.. May.??
Just curious, since we have so many pots holes..are any of you's waiting for the thaw to be over..tha'ts when they'll most likely fix the some of pot holes.

I'm waiting till May. Not like it has never snowed in April in this town (or May for that matter).

Still going to be a while until the nights aren't frosty, the snow is gone, and the roads are clean. It hasn't even started raining yet. My car hates frost, snow, rain, and stone chips.

It's different when you have a garage, then you just take the car out whenever it is nice, and hide it when it is not.

I believe most of the guys will pull the car out mid april. Probably good time would be early may. Let some rain wash the roads a bit.

Pulling mine out at the beginning of April, because I have to. Then will start doing some work in my driveway and prepping for paint!

well went for a drive today It has rained hard a few times in the past two weeks.I drove maybe 20km around my block etc etc. Just checking to make sure I put everything back together properly. Passed three cops today! WTF. Why so many out?

Anyhow car loves this cold weather. 10psi by 4500rpm 70% throttle boost spring. Now I have to check my new installed wb as it showed some lean areas?

hurry up summer!

April 9th weekend if I get the carb by then, April 15-16 weekend if I don't.

My car doesn't particularly like salt, snow or rocks either. I just need time to prep it for the May meet, so I'm taking it out of storage early-mid april, driving it to my parent's place and parking it while I work on it for a week or two. Then when the roads are sufficiently clear, I'll seriously DRIVE it.

Has anything changed in your car since the last tune, like fuel pressure?

What is probably happening is the compensation maps are not tuned for the air temperature you are driving in at the moment. That is one of the factors I'm sure, since you tune in the summer, so your intake temps are going to be wayyy lower now.
