Here in Jersey, we get pretty crazy temperature swings throughout the day and the year. It could be 70 during the day and 35 at night in the fall. Also, it will get down to 0 or so in the winter and up to about 105 in the summer. Is it safe to run the same tune for all seasons?

I would think it would be safe.

It is safe but your AFR's will vary a little bit, that is why its not good to be on the edge. To show you the day I ran my car at the dyno it was hot and my AFR's were at 10.9 the other night it was pretty cool and my AFR's were at 11.2. So temp affects a little bit but it shouldnt be too much.
Buy an AFR gauge so you can be sure of whats happening with the car at all times.

MM said in another one of my posts to start the process again!!!!
just flashed map:
MM YYYYs TT AA vXx_0.ptm
STFT: 1,-0,1 after a drive around my neighborhood
I will check it a couple of days later about a week or so and see if any adjustments need to be made =]]]]
any other suggestion MM?

The daytime temp here, right now, is 85°F. The nighttime temp is about 50°F.
I'm at 1000 ft, but I regularly drive from sea level to about 7500 ft (and the temp can drop 30° in the process).
The PCM handles it all.
I am going to mail both sets of instructions to EVERY AccessPORT customer again.
I don't know if that will help, but it can't hurt, I guess.

After learning that the cat costs $4500 here I've decided to run on the untuned maps, better that the car runs rich than I run poor :P Nice to know that if I buy a catless midpipe it won't require a re-tune though.

$4500 for a cat?!

I just noticed that Jeff's email to my GMAIL account went straight into the junk mail folder.
Check to make sure calibration emails aren't getting sent there and if anyone here uses outlook, add Jeff to Safe Sender list.
Hmmm, makes me wonder if Jeff sent me updated maps and they got deleted because of my spam folder settings.

Indeed I might, but it adds noise, and I have to keep the car original. Rules about US imports. Still hope to go that route, but due to the fact that I might have to take it off if I get "busted" I have to delay it until I can install/uninstall it myself, haven't got my own garage.
The rotary sounds awesome with even sharper sound though, but other people hearing the car may not agree

Jeff: can you see if you sent me a custom calibration any time after Sept? I checked my spam folder and didn't find anything but that's not to say I didn't delete it out of that folder.
