"We were faster in the first 3-4 laps , then much slower after that upto the point the tyres went off as they were too hot,cost us a lot of places and we were 7 tenths slower than before , even though most other drivers laptimes were similar to the pre final."
This is getting quite excruciating. Those are EXACTLY the symtoms I get on a hot day. (except for being any faster than anyone else ;-)) Absolutely fine for the first couple of heats in the morning, but as the track temperature comes up in the afternoon I can get the tyre pressures low enough to work for maybe 6 laps or so. After that the tyres either get hot and laptimes slow, or more often get so hot that the kart starts behaving strangely.
