Sluggish and rich???? H E L P

What could be causing me to run so rich? I can see raw fuel comming out of the exhaust at idle and when i rev it up? My fuel psi is at 43 and i have my chip burnned so my BLM's are between 126-132 at part throttle which is almost perfect AF ratio. Timming is at 6deg advanced and vacume is a steady 16 at idle? No codes..an occasional egr code, but that is a very tempramental code from what I have read. I have a new engine with AFR heads, sllightly larger cam and it seems very sluggish. Plugwires and plugs are good. Plugs under inspection at teh track show a rich condition?

Can anyone help??

I plan to check the coil
put new plentum gaskets on >>>>no leaking via the carb cleaner test and vacume gauge.
check all the plugs after a run down the street
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

What do you mean you can see raw fuel? Is it dripping out, black smoke, or what?

it's not smoking at idle, just dripping. But at the end of the track it is black smoke? I suspected tps bad, but the voltage is with in normal range. Fuel psi is stock, new 02 sensor???
