Yea realized after I hit "submit". sorry I think you would want to talk to your tuner, they'd probably know best what's going on. I don't know and am just guessing, but I can imagine the MAF sensors not being as accurate at real hot temperatures.
As far as those outside temperature gauges, from what I've seen, their calibration definitely gets out of whack at extreme temperatures. I doubt it was really 130.

After driving tonight, my engine threw another code. P0171. Lean Bank 1. Anyone know what this means and what I need to do to fix it? This is occurring while running my custom tune.

I changed over to the stock map and drove it and did not encounter any codes. I am not sure if this is from the tune, or if there is a problem. Looking up the code, there is a lot of different possibilities as to what is causing it. Should I continue to drive around and see if it comes back on, and if it doesn't just forget about it? Or should I take my car to the dealer to have it looked at? Please let me know.

My outside temp reading goes crazy most of the time on a really hot day. I'll sit there and watch it get up to 116 then quickly drop down to 101. It is all over the place and has been ever since the temps got really hot 5 or so months ago.

Wait until the motor is cooled off and make sure you're completely topped off on coolant. The coolant system (ie, the coolant temp sensor) is very sensitive to any air in the system.
