have you tried logging your fuel trims?

also, to be honest, it sounds like you have a minute vacuum leak so check all the sealed areas you screwed with when you installed it.

making blind fuel changes can be harmful to an engine.

Did you lean it out based on a wideband?
That seems like a lot of fuel to pull...especially after you increased airflow with a CAI, my guess would have been to add fuel?
