winter tune?

they make tunes for 20 below Zero? (with the windchill of course)

My truck goes months (jan and Feb) without even being started. don't want to risk it.

I'd strongly recommend a winter SAFE tune though, the air is much more dense... most engines blow during the winter.

Having the Predator, how much would you enrich for winter if driving in those conditions? What outside temps are people blowing up their motors?

You know me, I Loooooooooooooooooove timing
(Hate Frigging Snow, but Loooooooooooooove timing.......)

Drove through the first winter daily (was only vehicle at the time)
on a 16 degree program (had 94 Octane at the time). Drove through the Second Winter too (but later bought a 2nd car)
Since Feb of 02 I've been using the latest two programs. My 2 programs are suppose to be 16 Degrees for Nitrous (I ALSO USE THIS PROGRAM ALL WINTER LONG) and 18 Degrees for 24/7 Street Driving. BUT my LOW timing program showed 19 degrees on Sal's Dyno, WOO HOO we didn't check the other program that day, BUT IT'S DEF @2 Degrees MORE.
I do however back down two lb's of Boost for Winter and only use the 4lb lower (I still see 15 lbs OR MORE like that)

As for gas, they also took 94 away from us here in Long Island NY I guess @ a yr ago now, so 93 Ultra is what I use ONLY, but recently I've been trying to run 100 Octane 24/7, GOD I LOVE THE SMELL, WOO HOO (found it in a station by Sal's Shop @ 5-10 minutes away) In warm weather with the 4+2+Port, I also see a min of 15lbs
