Default lean condition

ok, so i just installed a ford racing long block in my 86 gt. 5spd. maf conversion, gt40 alum. hds. b303 cam, edlebrock rpm upper and lower, 24lb injecters. 255lph pump. 75mm maf, throttle boddy, ect. the problem is it is running lean. Ive tried turning up my fuel pressure, but dosent seem to help. cant find any air, vacum leaks, ect. the motor is rated at around 350 horse depending on intake ect. do i need to go to 30lb injectors or what? any ideas, suggestions? thanks.

Check if you have lean codes showing by running a DIY KOEO/KOER/Cylinder Balance Self-Test first.

24 pound injectors are fine for what you have. Is the MAF calibrated correctly for the 24 pound injectors? I'd look for another reason than the injectors.
