banzai510(hainz) Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 don't know where you get the winter and summer jetting from I just run it and call it good if the plug look somewhat OK. My jets always back out over time and cuts out but I always have a screew driver. looks good!!!!!!!!!!!! I would have done duals!!!!!!!!!!!!! then you wont go back 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Denser air draws in more gas so (within reason) it self adjusts for temperature. Altitude also isn't worth worrying about. Weber says that from sea level to 2,500ft there is very little change. I say if living at 2,500 ft then jet for it, so you are good above and below this point in your local. 1 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Weather affects engine tuning. That's why EFI was invented. If you have luck not changing for the weather or change of seasons, that's great, but if the seasons are vastly different, ie- 100 degrees in summer vs 30 in the winter, then I would plan on doing some seasonal tuning. This is what I do for a living though, so I speak in terms of ideal scenarios. 2 Quote Link to comment

Ya, that's why i also have a temp sensor on the radiator that is adjustable as to what temp i want the dual electric fans kickn in, i have them set at 180° now, 165° during 95°+ weather, and its awesome especially in traffic on a hot day. 2 Quote Link to comment
scooter Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 If your cruising around your local area it shouldn't affect your tune that much. Calculate your density altitude!! If you tuned your car in Vancouver on a cold day, then drive it to Calgary when it's hot out, your gonna have issues. That's an extreme case but for 'muricans that's like going from LA to denver 1 Quote Link to comment
