F*** it! Turn ur timing up and let it eat! LOL. Idk, Id check things like ur upstream O2s... bad ones could do it. Also, have u f'ed with ur cooling system? If ur car doesnt heat up to like 185 degrees it will stay in cold run mode which dumps a lot more fuel in. People that set the values too low on their fan temps and also run anything colder than a 180 thermostat have had problems with that.

Sounds like a sensor problem. You should be at 14.5-15.1 at idle and cruise and 13 at wot (NA). Which means you are running rich because something is reading wrong. Its not the o2s because they have no effect on wot. It could be the ECT so data log it and see what it is. My guess would be the MAF. Clean it and make sure is is facing the way it did from the factory.
