If you want max power, get your car dyno tuned. You want to see between 12.6-13.0 air/fuel ratio on pump gas. The actual number will depend on what your car responds best to.

Also keep in mind that your WOT may be fine, and you might be building all that fuel up on the plugs on your low side fueling. Again, that's something best to be done by a competent tuner.
At SAAC in Virginia a few years ago, more than one person came up to me and asked;" why are your tailpipes nice and grey and most others I see are black and sooty"????, all I had to say was dyno tuning will do that for you...............engine dyno first, then chasis dyno afterwards.........
