first off all check the crank balancer bolt it could be loose.
and how do you know that your belt is tight? it needs to be very tight(tight as in it rings when you tap it). check for dust around the blower pulley.
i also use belt dressing (you can find it in any auto store) which really helped my slippage issues.

you could also check that all hose clamps are tight.

where did you tap the boost guage?

i keep hearing bad things about aftermarket maf's and F/I.
what i did on the dyno was to richen the car alot at the top end using the p/e tables.
if all else fails use the injector flow rate chart to richen up the top end. just change the last box to a smaller number .

hope this helps.
