88 f250 running lean

this is driving me crazy. it's a 5.8w injector motor. trucks runs good but seems like is not getting enough fuel. when its cold the truck runs great and has power through the rpm range. When she warms up she seems to loose power from mid to full throttle. no codes. new o2, water temp sensor, recent tune up, cat removed,cleaned throttle body, all new vaccum lines. hot and cold fuel psi at 32. plugs are all white as ghosts even after all the work and 6,000 miles.
HELP!!!!

What is the condition of the air injection system? Any leak in this system or the exhaust upstream of the O2 sensor will cause the motor to run extremely lean.
