I think you summed it up with the track conditions.....
No traction = low ET
Hot, humid weather = low ET
Motors need dense, cool air to make good power. I would suspect your best ETs were when the weather was not so hot.
Also, your combination seems a little odd. I've never heard of a chip using a 195 degree thermostat. I've never had much luck with mass-produced aftermarket chips, but I wouldn't think it would hurt your performance. You could try ditching the chip and going to a 180 degree thermostat, but I think the problem was probably due to the weather and track conditions.
