You would have to be starving almost all of the fuel for you to have part throttle lean issues. Either that or letting 100% of the fuel by the regulator back into the tank, but then you wouldn't be showing any fuel pressure.

Log fuel pressure while cruising. If you have just a gauge on the rail with a 1/8" NPT fitting, get a 6' section of hose with NPT fittings on the end and run the gauge into the car so you can read it. This is what I did to verify my fuel pressure was dropping under high throttle. If it is dropping, it could be the main pump getting very weak, or the regulator giving up and letting everything by.
I have one more thing to try, then checking fuel pressure in the car will be the next step I guess. One more tuning thing that is.

That is a good idea to run the hose into the cabin, thanks bud. Maybe I should just buy a fuel pressure gauge for inside the car..hmmm.
