Not if the tune is a good one.
MAP and other stuff will compensate no problem, thats what its there for.
Does the factory have tunes for each state? No, why? Because the tune compensates for all climates, Canada to Texas... and beyond.

Agreed as long as not running MAFless.
Without a MAF all bets are off.

Mafless should also be ok, especially so if you are running a custom os that adds tweaks for IAT etc. Closed loop will also put a big plaster over everything other than PE mode.
