Default Timing Advance Missing

I was breezing through some ATAP last night and noticed that am am getting about 4 degrees less timing advance at WOT then I was when I dynoed the numbers in my sig. I am only seeing 22 degrees of triming at the very top of the RPM range as compared to the 25 - 27.5 degrees I was getting on the dyno. I have richened things up quite a bit as of late and my ATAP logs confirm this. Will leaning things out a bit get this timing back? Right now my MAFT settings are BASE: 15% rich and WOT: 6% rich and that is producing the following:

LTTRIMS 1-19 AVG: -2.00+
O2 AVG: .90

Any advice???

It could be due to different driving conditions. Was there a temperature change? You measured once on a dyno, and the other while driving? Possible differences in load while driving? It could be so many things...

I didn't expect to have to change my MAFT settings becasue of a cooler stat.

I assume you are also reading for Knock Retard? If not, then I would start there first.
