I have heard outside temp can make a huge difference in performance and MPG.

Consider yourself BLESSED to have 70's and 40's. We can't ride in the frozen tundra territory for at least another month or two.

Tonite in GREEN BAY it will be -15F with an estimated windchill of -45F!!!!!!!

Outside temp does play a little, but I'm sure the shop is not gonna be 40 inside so you should be more then fine to still get the bike dynoed.

The Dyno is not outside is it? The outside temp should not matter.

Speed has ahuge trailer with the dyno in it, so it will and won't at the same time, I don't mind the cold as long as it will be ok.

I know here in San Jose CA the dyno chamber has temp. Control on it. I think you will be fine. Post the numbers when you get them.
