Pegging rich everytime I lift the throttle

This is a buddies truck who's tune I'm trying to help him un****. Amidst many issues, one weird thing is that every time the throttle is lifted, whether it being from full load or partial, the AFR will peg itself as rich as possible and slooowly creep back to commanded AFR. Any ideas what's causing this?
Truck is:
2006 Silverado HD 6.0 (stock motor)
Turbo that is supposed to be at 8lbs of boost
TAC module on the throttle (possibly part of the issue?)
Otherwise stock truck with the exception of the exhaust.

Nobody is hitting 8lbs of boost on stock fuel injectors, so I would make sure that the data entered for the injectors in it matches them and the rest of the fuel system before even speculating about anything else.
edit--I see it has an EFI COS. Lucky for you HPT mapped those a while back.

And yes, tuning this has been a small headache due to the EFI OS. I'd overwrite it with an HPTuners OS however i'm concerned about the TAC module and having issues trying to get that properly tuned if I do (and the last thing I want is to accidentally brick his truck)

Yeah, it's the SD 80s. Those injectors are absolutely TERRIBLE down in the lower pulse widths, completely non-linear response below 1.7 ms and virtually impossible to flow match. On top of that your injector data is wrong, but putting in the "correct" data isn't going to fix the problems anyways. Put a modern injector in there from ID, FIC, etc and be amazed.

I had something like this in my C5 (NA) and making the DFCO settings more aggressive helped some.
That didn't solve it completely though so I'm going to be keeping an eye on this thread.
And the first thing I'm gonna try is reducing the minimum pulse widths to zero. Thanks for that tip.

It's already set low enough to hit the minimum on those injectors so that shouldn't fix anything at this point. It's just a combination of those injectors, the data being used, etc. The SD 60s were such a good injector for the time, and then they screwed it all up with the 80s.
