Default How often do you tune & retune your car?

Is it a must to tune your car in cold weather and then retune it in hot weather?
Or is it possible to have a common map for both?

I'm refering to the guys with the Hondata's and AEM's with this topic!

And how many differant maps do you have? (Hot, cold weather, nitrous, race gas)


Thanks for the replies.

Or you can tune it the best possible when you have hot weather and just patiently wait for the winter to arrive, and let the car surprise you.

That's our case here in Florida.

In Thailand, its Hot in the day and Warm in the night. Every day. Even in the Rainy Season (winter) its still hot + warm, just mixed with a lot of humidity and stickyness. I have my car tuned during the daytime with a conservative tune, so that even under the most extreme weather conditions, I know my car will survive And from doing that, It still ran better in the night time, regardless of the "hot weather" settings

You should retune during the season changes. Tune for winter and then tune for summer.

I change mine based on the moon and the alignment of jupiter..

Really, I change stuff all the time I've never been 100% satisfied with the way the car is running because I change parts every week.. Thats why I like the powerfc so much over the other standalones, the commander rocks
