HELP!!! RUNNING LEAN!!!

HELP!!! RUNNING LEAN!!!
I installed my MSD 6AL and now my Air Fuel ratio gauge goes all the way lean after 3500rpms at full throttle. I stopped and checked the plugs and the tip is a grayish white (to me that means lean). So I upped the fuel pressure and retarded the timing on the distributor. Still no fix. I turned the fuel pressure all the way to 42psi at idle and it rose to 50+psi under full throttle and still the gauge reads lean.
I have 8AN fuel line from tank to engine, AEM high volume fuel rail, Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator, and a Bosche 405 lph fuel pump. My only guess would be that with the added spark of the MSD, the injectors can't keep up.
If you have any advice please let me know. It sucks having a car that doesn't run right after you've spent a week straight sun up to sun down working on it.
Thanks.

Re:HELP!!! RUNNING LEAN!!!
Well, I added a B&M oil cooler and oil line to the turbo (it is plugged for now) and I regapped my plugs to .055.
I hadn't gapped them before and they were like .030. Either way, I was fine before I put in the MSD 6AL.
The gauge will start out rich then after 3500rpms it leans out all the way and then goes blank.
