I recently watched a Top Gear program and they were testing the new Porsche GTR2 (turbo). It was tested in the desert at over 100° and the driver said there was no power. When he called Porsche they told him it was the heat that probably reduced the HP by 80. When the driver tested it in LA at midnight, the temps were in the 60's and man what a difference. SO, heat is a killer to forced injection.
