I could see 2 tenths difference, depends on humidity though.

Barometer reading, temperature, and humidity level all play a factor in how much power you're putting down.

At least. When the temps go up here, so does the humidity and DA. I've see as much as .4 to .5 difference.

Like others said it'll be a big difference. That is if you can hook up at 40 degrees.

Well y'all have answered my question. Yesterday I took off on the same road from a 20 mph roll just to feel 1 gear and it hooked a little but spun through first. During the winter the tires just go up in smoke at a 20 mph roll. Thanks
