Do you have a stock fuel pump? 70 psi is pretty high for a stock pump and stock injectors. At that pressure you may be losing some injector response and hurting drivability. At high pressures the stock injectors don't deliver fuel as efficiently as they might at a more normal pressure. I would go with 24#, or 30# if you plan on future mods. Also get an aftermarket pump if you are still using the original stock pump. You may also want to be sure the filter inside the tank isn't collapsed on the fuel pickup, mine did this and I ran real lean until I removed the filter. I am using 24# injectors, Bosch hi-flow pump, and DFI on my 383 and I finally got the O2 numbers where I want them. If you still have the stock chip I'd certainly replace that with a custom chip.
