In your case, I'd be thinking about the placement of the air flow sensor. It
may be that it's not reading quite what you need. The timing retard is
usually only needed if you add forced air (turbo/supercharger)
I'd also replace the fuel filter if you haven't already done so. Another
thing to do is to see if the fuel pressure drops below normal at higher
throttle settings.
