Does heat affect a tune this much
What's going on guys? Went to get my car retuned and wasn't to thrilled with the numbers granted i know we all say the dyno is a tool. Now I made 439 at 13 psi late November last year about 50 degrees outside. Went back today and made 400. It was about 85 outside here in FL. Question I have is does or will heat affect horsepower this drastically? I read for every 5 to degrees 10 dropped you make 1 percent more horsepower. Tuner always mentions that his dyno dynamics reads low next to a dyno jet.

Boost pressure should not change.
Not only will heated air make less power, but various ECU temperature compensations could be in play by removing timing or adding fuel. Ideally, a correction factor takes care of the former, where the latter would need to be handled by the tuner.
