im not sure its a good move. we live in el paso with constant 80+ degree heat and it seems like this wont be very effective. however i thought maybe his SC made him run lean so it might help. any tips? if you need more info just ask.

He could if he doesn't care about his motor. It tricks the computer into thinking it's pulling in colder air than it really is. Cooler air=more oxygen content. When you trick it, especially with a supercharger, detonation becomes highly likely. What is his fuel setup and how is he tuning it?
