Around here the humidity plays the biggest role in how your car "runs" Heat is bad enough but when you put the water in hot air and it displaces the oxygen then that means no powa. But the nights are getting cool now Twisted Evil

The car shouldn't change at all during the different months and different weather...if the inlet air temp table is set up correctly in your tune. that's how the tune compensates for temperature change.

Well I notice that when my intake air temp is above 130ish the car gets sluggish. Now the intake temp is staying 108 and 112 and runs great!! And as the weather gets even cooler it will get even bettert!!

Bad air is bad air. The pcm can only compensate just so much. We put headers on a GT500 back in August. It was a muggy hot night when we ran it just after the install. Hp was down with long tubes added. We ran it tonight and power was up almost 50 hp just from good air.

WOW that is a big difference just because of the air temp!
