Default weird problem, need help, where to start?

car mods in sig, the problem i'm having is now the 150 shot doesn't hit as hard as it used to.

Not that i have gotten use to it!!! Here 's the story!

This problem came at the last two hits in the bottle.
The last time i sprayed the car was late last yr. At that time, i was having a problem with it dieing off at around 5k rpm, so i packed it up for the winter mts. Now the weather is nice i decided to fill the bottle, and see if the same problem existed. Ok, so with around 925psi in the bottle, i purged the system and hit it in 2nd.

Damn, the car pulls hard, all the way to 6.3k, shift to 3rd, same! So i'm like ok, maybe last yr was just a low bottle, or something.

2nd hit, car pulls hard, but not quite as hard as the fresh bottle, so no biggie, right!

3rd hit, i feel it kick in at 3k, but no hard pull. It is still stronger than n/a.

4th hit, i have a problem! I feel it start to pull at 3k, but honestly, once i get in the upper rpm range, there is hardly any difference.

So now, where do i start looking, or look for? Do i, refill the bottle, and see if i have the same results or what?

Thanks for the help and suggestions!

Was the bottle pressure the same at the start of all 4 hits?
