Default Any xtra problems/concerns/precautions w/ the coming heat?

Does anyone do anything xtra with the heat coming? How much harder is it on a boosted engine? I know the warmer air will yeild less power, but will it affect the chance of detonation?
Thanks

The warmer weather will affect your air/fuel ratios. In the winter the engine burns more fuel (colder/denser air=more power, power=more fuel consumption), in the summer air/fuel ratios are typically richer. I have seen a .2~.3:1 difference in the same tune between winter and summer temperatures.

Other than keeping your cooling system up to par, you'll have nothing more to worry about.
