In the morning on my way to school the throttle feels peppier than normal. Just wish I had a tuner

My Supercrew will turn the tires over when the temps drop, but the Lightning really wakes up.. I doubt if I get the Lightning out 'til spring now.

My truck has noticeably better acceleration in the colder weather but i think that's because I am supercharged & intercooled?

Well that helps, but colder air is more dense and has more air particles per sqaure inch which multiplies your S/C output quite a bit. But keep in mind as your HP goes up, so does the drag
