Some things I can think of for you to check...
Are you sure you have your timing set right? You should probably be running 12-14 base timing.
Do you have the correct spark plugs, electrode depth and heat range?
You are setting your fuel pressure with the vacuum port off right?
If you are setting it with the vacuum port still on the AFPR 38 at idle will be like 48 PSI at WOT.
And when you drive it you have the vacuum port hooked back up to a vacuum source?
Also, it might take some time for your computer to relearn the new setup.
Also, check for codes, this might tell you if any of the sensors are malfuctioning.

Your MAF and injectors are the same calibration, correct?

If everything checks out, it may just need a good tune.
