Re: blower guys ...................help I just checked... supposed to be about 850. Shouldn't be a huge factor.
For this time of year, that temp with the ATI sounds probable to me.
Muggy days have sapped my ET's anywhere from .2 to .4 in the 8th mile. <img border="0" alt="[whiner]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" />
With that HP on the dyno, it would SEEM your A/F should be dialed in.
You've got the gearing and stall to put it there... I don't understand it.
Is it possible that between the dyno and your run that something went awry? Did you REALLY check that your boost level was 10 PSI at the track. I have had 10 PSI, the belt stretched, and my next run at the track I was nearly a half second slower in the quarter. I was watching Fuel Pressure, but for some reason didn't check my peak boost levels until after 2 or 3 runs. A re-tightened belt solved that.
Double-check everything is the same from when you dyno'd. I'd consider re-dynoing locally, if you can't pinpoint what's going on.
