did you drop the fuel pressure?
maybe thats why?

also how do you know its running lean? did you check with a wideband? and was it calibrated

also metal specs on your spark plugs is a sign of detonation; thats molten aluminum cooling on the inulsator

Have you tried a tune up. If the car was abused and ran w/ crap gas injectors do get dirty which can casue a lean condition. I would get some fuel injector cleaner and a tune up

Do the basic maintanance...but I bet it could be the fpr...maybe you set it to low...you need a fuel pressure gauge to set it up right.
He's running lean, cause his spark plugs are white...he has detonation..thus the aluminum bubbles on his plugs...and if his car is getting hotter then before ... he is getting higher EGT's
Check the FPR first...is ti adjustable?
