I would give it time and see if it really has lost power or just "feels" like it.
I often find different days can make differences for no apparent reason, things like fuel level, and the strength of the wind even!

I had a 2ltr turbo astra coupe and I was forever worried that I was down on power for some reason so I devised a test, I would select 3rd, and with the in car timer, floor it at 30mph and stop the clock at 80. (On the same piece of road every time)
It was always within point diddly squat of a second even if it didn't feel as fast as last time!
