winter driving with boost
Thursday, September 17, 2009 5:32 PM
curious who out there has a turbo/sc j-body and is will be driving it in the winter this year?

with the days cooling off i'm starting to think about snow again

anybody change octane, turn up/down boost, or doing anything differently than the summer driving?

All 3 of our J's are boosted.. Mine sits in garage for the winter, and my wife's usually sits under a cover. We both have dailys so our nicer cars get less wear/tear. My DD is a Z24 SC and its driven everyday. I don't change anything with the tune or anything. I get in and drive it.

I'm looking forward to raising boost. It gets cold in PA, but for most of the winter, the roads are dry.
