Carb Problems

Okay here's the deal. Up to 75-80% throttle my engine runs ok. When i floor it the engine bogs and loses power and even preignites. In higher gears its even worse at WOT. I know its running lean but i'm not getting any code 44's or anything like that and it usually runs nice and cool (i have a 160 thermostat). I've heard it could be my EGR. Any suggestions?
