Regulator boost referenced?
FP rising 1# per # of boost?
Base Fp set at? [Vac line off and plugged]
Wideband sensor readings logged?
Excessive exh back pressure? [Ideally, not more than 2X boost]
High EGT?
Plug readings look like?

How lean?

How is the VE maxed, like 300% or something?

Do you know the fuel pressure is good at wot?
