Leaning out in boost after driving a while
I had a similar issue awhile back. Mine was voltage dropping over time as the car was running and stuff warmed up. Soon as I swapped to a better alternator and upgraded the wiring the problem went away.
o. And remember I put fuel in it, pulled out the gas station and hit it. Did not lean out. I had 5 or 6 gallons in it. I feel like it was heated up or aerated and the fresh, cool 6 gallons I splashed in either cooled things off or got rid of the air bubbles.
I have almost a full tank so I’ll drive the car to work a couple times and then yank the tank and make some changes.

The supply hooked to one side of the regulator and the rail hooked to the other.
Bass ackwards.
This: I moved the supply to the back of the rails with a y and teed the regulator and no more issues.
"and teed the regulator".
I'm assuming "teed" means the ft of rails into the 2 ports on the reg, then the return out of the bottom. Y/N?

So I did touch the return line today and it was pretty hot. It’s closer to the exhaust manifold than I thought/remembered. I’m going to put a dei heat sleeve on it to block the radiant heat. I drove it around for a few hours today to run the fuel out. I didn’t get the tank low enough just yet to pull it. I’ll yank it out next weekend, shorten the return in the bucket. I ran into another issue. I keep blowing the dipstick up at high boost. So now I have that to address too. I guess my pcv system doesn’t flow enough. Meh.
I have a 3/8” rubber line going to each valve cover and the valley cover. All three lines go to my catch can. Then the top of the catch can used to have a big filter but quite a while back I put a 3/4” hose with a 90 elbow going into the top of it. That hose runs over to the turbo, it’s connected to the air filter side....acts as a vent that’s under a little suction, especially under wot. For some reason, it’s not keeping up anymore.

Stupid question but have you checked your fuel filter?
I had a weird fueling issue where I would go lean after cruising and after dicking around pulled the fuel filter because it was the one item in the fuel system I hadn't touched and it was plugged so bad I couldn't blow air through it.
Replaced it and picked up almost a full point of AFR and car ran way better too lol.
Who knew?

Fuel heating doesn’t seem to be an issue with e85 even with a large single pump. Or maybe it’s the lower under hood temps with a Procharger that prevents my fuel from getting hot enough to be a problem. Even at low tank levels it’s not an issue.
moral of the story is use e85 and switch to Procharger...lol. Just giving you a hard time of course.

Doesn't stop you from doing it yourself. There are a lot of things the manufacturers could do differently that's why us enthusiasts exist and do what we do. Besides Pontiac doesn't exist anymore so you couldn't tell them if you wanted to and our cars are actually Holdens...LOL

1) cut the fuel line
2) have more connections
3) possible path for more leaks
