Air density. What was the temperature and humidity difference .Your computer can optimize a/f ratio , but less dense air means less fuel ,hence less power .

Isn't there a screen in the fuel line that some people have had plug up?

Yeah Shoe I got it figured out. I must have still been drunk when i wrote that. It ended up being a couple of fouled plugs. I still spanked a 28' challenger w/ a 496ho. He still doesn't know I was only running on 6 cylinders. I'll smoke his azz bad next week!

I spoke with Merc. racing today and they have never heard of a 10% reduction in safe mode... They said the engines are limited to 3500 rpm or less depending on the problem, this should also cause the buzzers to be going off.
