Hondata (S200 I'm assuming) has no provision for IAT correction, so if its a lot hotter than when the car was tuned, it will be running richer than normal.

My car feels compeltely differnet form when its the nice 104 deg. out right now to tonight when it will be a nice 75 deg out and will pull like rape ape, a huge dfference in performance can be noticed in temp change once your boosted, well for me anyways... O yeah if your running the autometer AF gauge, dont rely on that to tell you what your actuall AFR is cause they are just a narrow band sensor...
