I just put a 2.2 kb on my car a week ago. it made 603/525. the first couple of pulls felt killer on the street riding in the car bc i was coming from a pullied eaton. The last few days ive driven it, it seems a lot slower to me. The temps out have been in the 90's with high humidity and i believe it was much cooler the day off the dyno when it pulled so hard. The car still has a stock intercooler. Is this just the weather? Is it my stock intercooler? Could my clutch be slipping without flashing the tach? Am i just getting used to it? :shrug:

Yes its the weather and you are getting use to it. Also the 2.2 produces a good amount of heat which doesn't help. I would also suggest changing the intercoolerbut thats just my .02

I just upgraded to a Whipple 2.3L 2 weeks ago. I was kinda thinking the heat was killing me lately until I wacked a Viper today.

Like others have said heat and get a dual pass HE

Skip the dual pass and get the killer chiller. With the temps you are driving in you will need it.

All of the above.(except for the clutch comment, you would see the tach flash):bored::shrug::beer:

Any belt dust accumulating around the upper pulley area?:shrug:
That would be evidence of belt slip.
