Default Searched... I think its running lean now... please help

my wife has a built d16z6 (by me). I was tuned at speed factory a year ago and it has ran great @ 307 whp. This last week we have noticed some cutting out at part throttle so I checked the plugs and show a lot more white than before. I raised the fuel pressure from 40psi to 60psi, the plugs are not as white, but why the change? have good vacuum, and no exhaust leaks. help please

changed the plugs, the gap is at 30. I guess I could put another set in but i don't think that is the problem. It just started to run lean one day. it seems to be consistent thou.

All the cylinders are burning the same so I don't think clogging is the issue. Pinched off the return line, it built and held high pressure with the new 255. ordered a new fuel filter because that's the only thing I can think of. I think we are thinking in the right direction tho, thanks for the thoughts
