Did you change your wheels and tires between the runs? Differences in wheel dimension could be the cause because of this. When trying to research how to compute exact optimal rpm shift points using dyno runs and gear ratios, it was mentioned that changes in the wheel diameter and the contact surface area could affect the dyno data results.

So it's not like it's all worn or anything.
