Thanks for the insights fellas. You two are as seasoned as they come, so I hope your exactly right and that nothing is wrong with the old girl. I just figured that since the air was colder, it would perform better. Could just be what's still left in me from watching the first Fast & Furious though...
I'm still going to check the plugs. 3rd gear, in particular, feels hesitate to kick in on the throttle. I put half a bottle of SeaFoam in this morning. Maybe their is a bit of krusties stuck in an injector?
