the guy is running a base map untuned with his car, who knows what is on his ignition map.. and i dont know about the ecu pulling timing when it sees boost but our is ecu is never designed to see boost, but i know that when the ecu detects knock it starts to pull timing and adding fuel

was it the same tune before and after you installed the cai? or church's only tuned it after you installed the cai.. if so then it may not be you cai giving you gains but could be the tuner's skills and you could have gained more.. but you have some pics of your setup?
