    the loudest my s/c ever whined was dead of night after a snow storm like 3 or 4 deg's out, with a stock air box it was so loud and pulled like a mofo, so i parked it before i broke it. lol

    really cold temps is when stuff breaks i learned that a long time ago as i've snow plowed for 20 years, the cold kills parts.

    Yup... A dude I used to work with years ago told me that. Almost word for word wat u just said. Most ppl will tell u Start it up, lit it sit for a short while (not too long since GTPs already get pretty bad mpgs, usually even worse in winters) like a minute or 2, then drive off REAL slow & no racing or gunning it whatsoever till the dash temp gauge is on the move & nears the operating temp. IMO good luck if u have a 160* thermo in the winters, especially MidWest winters, Lol. That sh*t'll be tryin' to reach operating temp permanently from what I hear. I run a 180* year round... No such probs in winter. Finally getting my Beast custom tuned on Sat. Consider this the summer tune. I'll prolly need to go back in a few months to get it tuned for cold weather. Haha... I remember Nike had ACG apparel/ shoes (All Conditions Gear). I'm looking to eventually have an all conditions tune that will run optimal year round. Bad ass ... I'm VERY anxious to see just how much a good solid custom tune will wake it up. According to others guess I'm very fortunate that ZZP off the shelf tune didn't blow my sh*t up Lol! (I'm sorry BlueGTP91. That sucks, man. I'd be irate if that happened to my baby. I've seen ur many posts about them & their PCMs. Custom tune time!!!)
