What tach are you using, and do you know it's accurate? The boat tach's can be off by 5 to 10% at WOT. Are you getting all your advance? What system are you using, MEFI (what), MSD, etc?

not enough info here which 8.2 the newer cat engines or the later ones with MEFI. Year and engine serial # helps plus will determine what fuel system set up you have along with what fuel injectors were used.

Just a guess here - you can have good fuel pressure but the fuel injectors can be the problem and or their spray patterns for performance issues & loses.

Compression and leakdown #'s and a fuel vacuum test ?
