Are you serious? If the car is tuned in summer temps it will not run good in the dead of winter.
Especially WI!
90* right now. -10* in Feb.
100* variance...

my car runs perfect between 60* and close to 90*
when its warmer than 90 she seems drag a little bit, but not too bad. I can't imagine a 50* difference let alone 75-100

I no expert on this either, but I thought that tuners over came that issue with the AEM box.
Is that not the case? Are you saying that the AEM the box cannot take into account the temp outside and adjust?

Its really not an issue unless there is a big change in the weather like we have in WI, most tuners will still tell you that retunes are usually required when running year round in colder states. Speed density runs off of intake temp and manifold pressure, it would make total sence that weather has a large impact. This is why a LOT of tuners will say to stick with the stock ECU until you reach 450whp+. The tens of thousands of man hours behind the engineering of the stock ECU will help it to make its own changes to adapt to the enviroment. I'm just running off a 5 hour dyno tune from AMS. I'd have to bring my car down for tweaks all the time to get it to match the weather adpating capabilities of the stock ECU. The cost would be outrages for a tune like that.

Basically as it sits my car will be fine to run in spring, summer, and fall. Winter is out of the question.
Just ask Laakness, his brothers truck runs off a standalone and it ran like crap in the colder weather.
