No im not saying that using the NX made my fuel pump go out....my fuel pump when out a few days later....maybe using the NX made it go out sooner...i was told it would eventually go out because of the NOS use.....Im just saying that with the weather cold outside...it hits so much harder!!!

denser colder air is good.

My N/A TA seems to love cold weather much petter and you can feel it pull harder. Prob because in regular waether is running a tad rich.

Could be something to look into. Are you running rich when its warmer out? COuld feel like its hitting HARDER because your running leaner and actually making more power.

Cold tires on cold pavement = not much traction.

It's not just the increase in power. It's also about the reduction in traction.
