'en cold or Will an SC work in this temp? Burrrrrrrr

On my way to the gym this morning and this is what I see after 5 mins of driving.









Yes that is an intake temp of -16 F and an out side temp of - - - C. Which means lower then -33 C.


So will GTM's SC stage one kit work in Canadian winters? YES.


That said. plug in the block heater. The car will fail to start and flood if the block temp is -9F ( I know I did it) So as the gym does not have plugs out side. I had to cut the workout short just 30mins.

Good to know that it works in this weather
As for the car fail to start and flood if the block temp is -9F, is that only for cars with SC, or does the same thing happen to stock G?
