Update----
A few weeks ago, i took the car to my mechanic to confirm that there were no leaks... and he did. After this, I was still running low/mid 10 sec 60-130 (AT MOST) and a 117 in the trap. I did feel a little bad that I was convincing myself something was wrong, while beating on the car while it was running exceptionally smooth and no error lights etc. I accepted that with the car's age is starting to slow down and left it alone .
Fast forward last week, I was talking to a friend with a FBO M4 who recently got a fresh tune and he said that he had major problems putting down power because his car was pulling timing from Costco 93 octane. DING.... LIGHTBULB ON. I always put Costco (93) gas in my car since its 1) cheaper and 2) convenient. NO. MORE.
The car was pulling serious timing. Ran the Crapco gas out, filled a half tank of Shell V-Power and now running a consistent 9.5ish 60-130 and 120/121 trap in the 1/4. VERY HAPPY!!!
AVOID COSTCO GASOLINE!!!!!!!!

Interesting, maybe contamination or a bad Costco gas station tank? They're suppose to be top tier... https://toptiergas.com/licensed-brands/
