Maxed out LTFT's at WOT? I already described the problem a while ago and here is the development.
At idle LTFT's are ~3-6%.
At open throttle (doesn't even have to be WOT) LTFT's go to 25%.
I believe I fixed the fuel issues - changed the fuel filter and run some GM fuel injector cleaner - the fuel pressure is 58-60psi and appears to stay close to that at WOT, not less than 55psi.
I do have ported MAF but before I start to play with tuning I'd like to make sure there are no mechanical issues. Also the problem developed long after I ported the MAF. So, could those high LTFT's be in anyway related to carbon build-up? If the injectors are clogged with carbon, is there an easy way to know that and is that possible? Could it be that top end cleaner could also clean my O2 sensors ? - I get P0137/0157 all the time, no other codes, I'm thinking perhaps it may serve as an indication that something is not right with O2 sensors, including the front ones? I plan to change my TR55 shortly and I'm trying to figure out if it would make sense to run some top end cleaner through the engine first? (The car has 75k miles). Thanks for any advise.

I'm more interested in knowing if $5 top end cleaner could have any effect of the situation or it's stricktly for KR issues (which I also have, but I'm also very lean, I guess...).
