If both pulls feel healthy and it's just a small power difference I would look at your intake temps. The slower ones are likely when the engine bay is getting a little heat soaked and the faster ones are likely when it's lower in temps. I can personally feel the throttle response changing every 10 degrees or so in my mustang. I would say I can feel a difference every 15-20 in my fiesta se so I would bet it's that. You may just need to do some general maintenance if you haven't already. Some basic maintenance will do wonders on a car that needs it.
