Power Loss due to ambient Heat (Summer)
Does anybody know the power (%) loss due ambient heat. I noticed the RX has about 10% more power during the night. I feels "slugish" during the day. Can't wait for winter in Florida. The same power loss occurs with my motorcycle.

It wouldn't just magically correct it. It'd help it but if it's 100 and muggy outside, there's not a lot of "cold" air to suck in anywhere, just slightly cooler than what's around the engine bay.
I doubt there's an objective percentage. "Noticable" is annoying enough for me though

I was told by my service rep that you will gain 1% power increase for every 7-10 degree drop in ambient temperature.
I don't know if this is correct but it sounds plausible.
