I have seen the pattern I just explained above formed on all of them.

Tony,
I am assuming that you are seeing these gains after the ecu has recently been reset, correct? I'm sure most people who do major mods to their vehicle, disconnect the battery. At least I hope they do. That being the case, I'm sure you know that after the ecu loses power, it reverts back to a predetermined, SAFE ignition timing strategy. As the engine runs, it slowly adds back in more timing until it is at its max power potential, while still maintaining no knock. The gains you are seeing is just this; the ecu adding in the timing it REMOVED after being reset.
