If your old fluids were broken down and highly thinned out, the car may be a little slower with the new fluids because they are thicker. However, this should only make a slight difference. If you notice severe engine straining, then there may be something else wrong with the car.

The heat index is based on air temperature and relative humidity. The engine will lose about 1% hp for each 10degF increase in air temperature. The engine will also lose a very small amount of hp due to the increased humidity. On the good side, high humidity helps protect against detonation.
