Sl2eggplant how do/did you have the HAI ran? Did you just have the air filter open to the engine with no shielding or did you pipe hot air in?

If your engine cuts spark timing when it sees higher IAT (Intake Air Temp) you could try moving the sensor closer to the filter, that will help it see accurate temps since the sensor does not get heat soaked as much thinking the temp is higher.
