Check for vacuum leaks, o2 sensor, Mass air flow sensor, fuel pump, and fuel filter. Those can all affect A/F ratio's.
 
Did you check your spark plugs and at what gap they are at? Throw in a fresh set of NGK BPR6 or 7's gap to .028 and check your plug wires, and as stated above, do a boost leak test.
 
How much boost are you attempting to run on a stock fuel system?
