The parameters that will properly adjust the A/F ratio (and other parameters affecting performance) are not user adjustable. You need to load a tune (written by others) into the handheld and load that into your PCM. The handheld will store your stock tune. Although the guy programmed you for higher octane, I doubt he properly tuned you for more bang. He probably only changed your timing for a measly 2-4 RWHP. A proper tune with the CAI will net you 20-25 RWHP.
Unfortunately, not too many shops write tunes to support the Diablo anymore as the SCT's are more popular. But you may want to contact American Muscle (Bama) since Bama used to write for both Diablo and SCT and I think I heard they're writing for the Diablo again.
I strongly suggest you don't run the CAI until you get a proper tune for it. Most CAI's without the correct tune will cause the engine to throw a CEL for running lean.

Mostly from being on the forums and asking a lot of questions of the guys in local clubs that I meet (I tend to move around a lot). Everyone is here to learn from and help one another.
