Are you using the stock FPR and ECM? If so, the FPR is not working right or not hooked up to vacuum. This would cause it to add more fuel at lower kPa. Your 42LB injectors are flowing more than 42lbs at idle (somewhere around 47lbs), but at high rpm they are flowing 42lbs. This is throwing your fueling off.

I would recommend going back to the stock fuel pressure regulator. I've read several bad experiences with aftermarket FPR units. I'm not sure you are doing anything that would really necessitate the need for an aftermarket FPR anyway.
