Doh someone beat me to it.

Really, it doesn't matter though. Temps are just yet another among so many variables that make dyno comparisons between different cars and dynos pretty much useless. The dyno number is just nice for comparing your car to itself before/after changes, on the same dyno in the same weather and fairly close together in time.

If anything you probably don't want to Dyno *Tune* in the cold winter weather as you'll get more timing out of it than you can use in the hot times. But then again, our car self-tunes timing anyways, so that probably doesn't matter much.
