Default Could something be wrong??

Last time i dynoed i put down 316rwhp and 341rwtq, since then all i've done is replace the stock MAF with a new STOCK LS1 MAF, since i hear of problems with the aftermarket ones on an auto, the old one was causing my car to run lean, well here is the question, if i have done nothing other than a couple of oilchanges and cleaned my airfilter, is there a way i could be LOSING hp/tq? the reason im asking is i raced a quick srt4 neon today and the guy is running 12psi on a stock turbo w/an exhasut and he put 1 1/2 - 2 cars on me and i was told from some other guy he runs 13.5' @ 101, so im wondering if im losing power, or this guy has done more since those times, i really wana know why i lost, thanks for any help

lol, dont underestimate an srt4. I was in the car with my buddy in his 99 ws6, all stock except borla exhaust. We raced a srt from a roll that only had mopar catbacks, and a bov. We 4pulled maybe 1/4 car on him from 40-90. I would find out what mods the srt4 had. 1/4 mile times are deceptive, especially when running from a roll.

dont feel too bad, srt's are peppy cars, your a automatic running a roll against a turbo stickshift, you coulda got him right in his powerband. i dont think your loosing any power though.
