Better to get tune done in hot or cold weather?
 
Hi all, as title mentioned, is it better to get the car tuned in hot or cold weather? Or does it not matter so long as your tuner knows what he/she is doing?

Your in Australia so how "cold" can it get haha. I would get it tuned on the hottest day possible so your tuner can be 100% sure its safe, however with any competent tuner it shouldn't matter

as what we do here at arabian gulf is tune the car at summer when the weather temp hits the 50c and 2nd tune at winter at coldest temp (5c-10c) . switching between both tunes every 6 months .
forgetting switch the tunes means blow the engine and long stopping then hard push the engine blown it too.

I run the same tune year round, my car see -30C to +30C :iono: No issue for 3 years so far.

if your tuning to the ragged edge, tune at high temps, knock should be more prevalent when you're getting less dense air and higher coolant temps
