in short, yes.

brew is correct. colder air = denser air. therefore there will be more air per unit volume as opposed to air at a warmer temperature. In turn, the air/fuel ratio will be higher. How much higher depends on the temperature.
For instance, you may experience knock on a car at 15psi on a 30 degree day, which you wouldn't see on a 70 degree day.

None if you have a good ECU.

I need to retune every 20F change.

Your fuel trims should adjust to keep stoich though. WOT is where I worry.

I replied quickly.

A GOOD ECU that takes into consideration changing environments such as a change to BARO would adjust fuel trims accordingly.

For OBDI, it's 0-100% (I believe) and OBDII, it's STFT (Short Term Fuel Trim) and LTFT (Long Term Fuel Trim) which is I *THINK* a 0-1 or some other type of scaling. I never understood how people couldn't tune low throttle, it's dirt simple. Load transitions and WOT is much different

Anyhow, it shouldn't matter much in CLOSED loop as the ECU will keep you as close to stoich as possible. I only worry about WOT where the ECU is less-forgiving. My MAF-T takes the baro as a constant and it f0ks me in the winter.
