In July I had a S/C installed along with headers/hi-flows/x and meth.We acieved 581rwhp on a 95degree day that also was super humid.You think a re-tune in this winter cool weather would find more HP?

i would think you would get a little more power because of the cold weather but i dont think they would tune it differently because of it. If its a stock motor then i wouldnt go much higher anyway. ( iam in the same vicinity as you) Good luck my fellow neighbor.

In cold weather you could be making extra boost. As mentioned I wouldn't touch the tune on a stock short block for a few more ponies. Your car already puts down impressive numbers. Do you have a dyno graph you could post?

Thanks

pm replied Dave, like others confirmed, your making a lot already for a stock engine. Might not want to push it much more, well unless your ready to make big power!
