Default MPH Down?

Car feels fine, however my MPH has been down about 3. Considering it was raining the day before, and clouds were moving in again, could this be due to humid air, or is 3mph too much? I've been fighting for traction, but that shouln't be that much of a difference? What you guys think, 3MPH is a good amount?

The DA" can hurt mph & et's but this time of the year 3mph is a little bit much! I can see 1-2 mph unless you were losing a lot of traction in the 60ft to the 330ft mark. :confused: :nonod: :grouphug:

Yea, 2 - 3 MPH on each run!? 60 foot times were about 1.9-2.0??

Only other thing I can think of is cut outs Y'ed off right before the mufflers were open, though it seems to help the car, not hurt it?
