Default Losing Power....HELP!!

Well my car sucks, over the last month it has been getting worse, the throttle response is not where it used to be and the only stuff i've done under the hood is maintenace, the usual, mobil 1, cleaning and oiling filter (light on the oil) i replaced the MAF with a new stock LS1 MAF, and thats about it, oh yea spark plugs are new too, engine temp is good, oil pressure a lil low but still within normal range, gas milage is around the same, so what could be wrong?? my car is a dog right now out of the hole and while crusing, help please!

Maybe its the hot weather
Maybe you got used to the power
Maybe your fuel filter needs to be replaced

You are getting used to the power dude.

If everythings fine.. general rule is that it is fine. But the more you think about it the more you'll convince yourself somethings wrong.

Best thing to go do is go race something else...

Sad thing is when I do that.. I feel like my car is getting slower and I think "I should have beat him by more wtf is wrong"
