Also there is another thing in my mind, would fuel affect temps? like if the tune is aggressive for the used fuel, would it affect temps? Last trackday, which was the hottest and most humid day I participated in, I added boostane to my fuel and used the least aggressive map, my temps was climbing the same as when I use the same tune on cooler days, I know I needed to try more aggressive tune same day to confirm my assumption.
A lean mixture runs hotter than a rich mixture. Advanced timing will run hotter too.
