Chris,

You should start here if you are really interested in learning.

My car went through the same "evolution" yours has. Prior to P&P earlier last winter, I had put Watson's, Fidanza and B+B exhaust so I could have a calibration that would be compatible BUT, all tuning is a compromise unless its done specifically for your car using datalogs scanned on your vehicle. The fact that you're in Utah suggests that, due to "thinner air", your motor operates in different areas of the VE and SA tables mine does.
