I think it's a combo of elevation and weather.

I remember reading on here about a week ago where some guy with your same mods but 6mt ran consistant 13.9. I'm guessing it was elevation and track conditon.

Many factors affect 1/4 mile times......weather, altitude, weight, driving, traction yada yada yada......
If you had the best of the automatics, then you were doing well and it was probably weather etc.
You could go back on a different day and turn a low 14! no worries.

you seem to me leaving out the driver factor. Maybe it's not the car. what was the elevation of the track, humidity, ambient temp outside? All play factors. The fastest I could run my G in Cali at LACR was a 14.8...the track is 2700 ABOVE sea level and it's always 90+ degrees. To be expected.
