Thumbs up Is it to cold to tune?

Just wondered if the weather is between 30 and 40 is it to cold to tune with LS1.edit. Should I wait until spring or does it not make a difference. Thanks Buzz

Doesn't make a difference. But the weather makes the car run alittle different.

Being inside the building, it won't affect it much if any at all. As long as your A/F is good and you don't have any knock, you'll be fine..........

In this cold weather you'll find your car can take more timing and a leaner A/F without knock.So if you don't get carried away looking for the highest dyno HP you'll be all set.
I highly suggest having it street tuned then put on the dyno for PE adjustments.I've been fixing alot of cars that get tuned on the dyno then when they hit the street ,it knocks(more load)
