That's why colder air is better... I was pointing out that humidity, in and of itself, is not a bad thing. Heat on the other hand is. Just making sure people weren't confusing the two.
Kharma is very real and she is one mean b!tch.

That's why colder air is better... You need a greater density of oxygen, not just random gases. But humidity might have the effect of raising your effective compression a little bit?
96 GL Zetec ATX, white with pinstripe, nickname " Sam Smooth " mods so far: CTA intake with homemade heat shield, KVR drilled front rotors & carbon pads w/ 500° fluid planned mods: exhaust (want to keep it quiet), e-ram (awaiting installation), diablo chip involuntary mods: compression increased after head gasket failure
