Time's getting worse!

Well went to the track again today, as some of you may remember last time at the track I pulled back to back 11.8's@116 with 1.65 60fts. Well went to the track today and my first 2 runs were 11.9's @112.8 and 113.9 with 1.63 and 1.67 60fts. My driving seem to be just as good but i dropped almost 3mph on my trap. I ran maybe 4 more time's getting worse each time, as bad as 12.3@109 .
I dont understand what is happening, I tried 3 different types of spark plugs throughout the day br8es, bpr8es and bpr7es and none seemed to help, Could not seem to find any boost leaks and my 1/8 miles were the same as my previous 116 traps. Car seems to pull a little less up top. Wheather was about 15 degree's warmer today, could that make a 3mph difference?

Were you using the same gas as last time?

I would have to think 15 degrees would affect your time. It is very little of a diff. but try running on a day that is 30 degrees colder and maybe you might gain 3 mph?

It's hard to see what's going on if you don't log and you know that. Until that happens we're just guessing really.

1. Boost leak
2. Knock for some reason if 1/8th mile times and mph are the same you're car is pulling timing for some reason.

Good luck
