I understand that if you have your car tuned (on dyno) in colder weather that you will pull higher power numbers and worse numbers in hotter (more humid) weather.
So, is there any BEST all year around tuning time? In other words if I get my car tuned in say...December where it is probably 20 degrees (here in NY) will it negatively effect performance in the summer time when it is 90 degrees?
Is it perhaps better to tune it around 50 - 60 degrees so you can take SOME advantage of the highs and lows of temperatures in all seasons? I am pretty damn new to tuning and don't really know much about it. Thanks.

Are you tuning it yourself? I find the best way is to just learn to do it yourself, and have a wideband O2 gauge on the dash. You can always keep an eye on the health of the engine and make minor adjustments when needed for maximum power. Also, you will never ever have to waste money on a dyno run again unless you want to see how much HP you make ![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
If anyone in Dallas wants to learn to tune their own car, feel free to hit me up and I'll do some street tune coaching

like jeff said, the cars are pretty smart about adjusting things like that. Colder air means denser air means more fuel, that air warms up and itll scale back the fuel. I would find kind of a midrange temp, like high 60s or low 70s, that way youre covered for the east coast from spring through fall, then maybe do a winter tune since it can drop really low sometimes. That's just my opinion.

lol where'd 20hp come from? i doubt youd see more than maybe 5 or 10 unless youre going from real cold to real hot.
