Do you have a scan tool? If not, I would suggest picking up a copy of EFILive so you can start logging what your car is doing.

I'm not very familiar with Diablo sport, but you may want to consider EFILive Flashscan or HPT for your tuning needs. There is a lot in your tune you will need to modify to achieve the full potential of your mods

you can log the o2s and see what mV they are reading, anything over 920 SHOULD be rich

You can't just put 42 lb injectors on a car without changing the IFR table, something your preditor is not doing. You will continue to run extremely rich until you do.
