Kinda silly to make this post but if someone can give me a quick answer it would help settle my mind.
If you pitch your prob to give say 5100 (engine) rpm during the summer when the temp is in the mid-80s. Then when winter rolls around could the colder air (45-50F) reduce the max engine rpm to say 4900?
I say this is a silly question because I have changed 2 other variables that are almost certainly the cause in the drop in RPM. I have installed a new engine that has less then 10K miles (old one had better than 80K) and a new RAF airfilter which I think is more restrictive than my old one.
If one of you could verify that RPM would not drop significantly with such a small drop in temp then I will feel better as I tinker around with airfilters and timing to try and get my 200 RPM back.
