That usually produces false high readings before the ECM adjusts to the different air flow.

This really isn't that surprising data. Very common that CAI's really don't add real power, unless it was a poorly designed stock intake, has been purposely restricted to reduce noise like the supercharged Cadillacs. (They restrict the intake air to keep the supercharger whine down) Or one starts adding multiple mods and a tune is tweaked with those mods and the CAI.
