Ok, fair enough.
My to do list so far:
1. adjustable fuel regulator
2. more timing
3. tps sensor
4. clean 10 pin connectors
5. clean k@n (its probably been forever...)

checking the EEC for error codes should aslso make it on your list. Other obvious stuff is to have someone floor the gas pedal (engine off of course) while you check to see if the throttle body blade is opening all the way.

dude, don't stress, that is really common, the Kirban won't fit right either probably.
loosen the 2 screws holding the fuel rail down, and *gently* bend the fuel rails out of the way of the intake.
edit: Also, don't stress about your TPS, just make sure idle is below 1.0 volt (0.8 or 0.9)

haha... maybe I'm the only person that will find this funny, but I've got just about the exact same set up as you except I've got 70mm TB and 24#ers. The Rick... The Nick... ok, that might have been lame.
Anyways, it seems like the stock fuel pressure with 30# injectors might be running a little rich. I'd definitely invest in a fpr. When I got mine, I adjusted it to 37ish when it was at 44, and it felt a lot better. Smelled a lot better too. lol. Good luck with the car man!
Edit: I didn't realize this thread was 5 pages long and this had already been pointed out. Sorry.

open rear gets very sideways and a lot less controllable
