Weird problem

Well not really a problem but................it's got me doing this
2000 Formula race only, LS1 heads/cam, auto, 12 bolt/spool
Open loop tune.

While racing Saturday I noticed something that has me a little worried.
At 1878' DA on a 1.56 sixty foot I ran a 11.325 at 118.59
At 800' DA on a 1.53 sixty foot I ran a 11.312 at 118.
At 700' DA on a 1.53 sixty foot I ran a 11.314 at 118.

Now I know that this is an open loop tune but I still figured that the car was reading the IAC and MAF so it would change the calibration based on the amount of air and the air temp. If it ran 11.32@118.59 at 1878' it should have run almost 11.20-1@120 at 700'
I'm confused and a little worried. If it doesn't compensate for cooler air then it's not going to compensate for hotter air either. If it doesn't compensate for hot air then when I go to the track and it's 90° out and the DA is 3500 feet it's going to knock like hell and maybe even break something.
Or is it just not sensitive to DA anymore and I need to track VP or dew point?
Somebody please help me understand what's going on.
