Yeah, but hot temps kill performance no matter what mods you have.

I think it's even worse for me. I have the Weapon R Short ram intake. Once the temps go up, performance goes WAY down. It's pretty embarrasing how slow our cars get in the heat. I tried passing a cab today (crown vic) and could barely do it.. UGH

Driving in 95 degree weather and 75 degree weather is like night and day literally. My gas mileage sucks and I have degraded power. It doesn't help having a black car with a black interior either.
