Default Question on my b18c1 swap

I know that when its colder outside that you car should perform better or be alittle quicker, like at night then during the day.

But sometimes it just feels like during the day its noticable amount slower then it is during the day.

For instance its been a little chilly out where I live (dallas) and my car has been damn quick,buy today its a little hot outside(Texas weather is unbelievable) and my car feels sluggish. Is that the way it is for honda-owners or is there something I can do?

it might be somewhat the weather, or just the engine is in a slump if you have a CAI you would probibly notice power differences a bit more. or it's you, maybe the heat somehow makes you think it's slower, when i took my rear seat out it seemed faster but in reality it was just the extra noise.

yeah I thought I will feel a little better performance when I get my CAI, I guess it will make it breath better and be quicker.

Its just that I can feel it being a little sluggish when I get on it and doesnt want to pick up as quick.
and when at idle it feels a little rough like it shakes a little at idle

obviously when it's colder out, your intake sucks in cold air. when it's warmer out, your intake sucks in warm air. thus giving you a little more push when it's colder.

hot air makes your car slower and run slighty warmer. Equaling a slower car...
