Had a few cold crisp morning drives in the E55 amd cant belive how much faster it feels when the temps drops. It feels loads quicker (its bloody fast in the summer) but how many extra bhp dose a supercharged car gain when its being force fed realy cold dense air ? 10 hp ? 25 hp? 50 hp ? I think i`m gaining around 10 %, is this possible ?

good question! lol

when my e55 is cold it drives much quicker, i have thought a few ideas that i am gonna try and see what happeneds. i first will try and put a extra watercooler and see if i get a better performace for long period before it heats up or i was thinking of placing 2 small fans on the water cooler running it off a switch to give it extra cooling.
my last idea is a bit mad but you can set up a spray jet system spaying very cold air on to it. similar to a NOS System.

thanks
