The temp skyrocketed here the last few days. It's almost 90° out. IATs still seem to stay within 4° when moving but if I'm stopped for a while the temps definitely climb a fair bit. I think I hit 130° today. The tune is definitely very dependent on the quality of gas and temperature. 93 e10 would be the best from a pump, especially during the summer. I just dumped in 4 galons of e50/e85 (says it's within that range) to help a bit.
Another recommendation I have is to make sure advanced traction control is off. Even with the stock tune, this made a noticeable difference in the low end torque. It just doesn't give it to you. Although, if you do, make sure your tires are warmed up or you'll lose the rear end real quick.
I did take it out two nights ago when it was a bit colder and first gear, especially, is insanely fun. There's absolutely no hesitation like the stock tune. Some kids in a modded wrx chased me down (they actually followed me for quite a while). You know the type, bigger turbo, decals everywhere, rap music blasting... passenger yelled out the window that he wants me to tell him if I like the new tail lights at the next light and I just smiled. That poor little thing was obliterated. We got to the next light and the windows roll up LOL. Before the tune I know I would've lost off the line and had to quickly play catch up. That lag being gone is so nice.
