This is where a scanmaster or some kind of diagnostic tool comes in handy, all cars are different..some run better on low FP, some run better on higher FP, really depends on what the BLM's are telling you....I believe I also mentioned I thought you might have a bad O2 sensor along with the MAF...
Really you can't do anything without at the very least a knock gauge because at this point I would lower the FP till I saw knock at stock boost levels then come up a little till the knock was gone. You really can't tune that car without knowing exactely what it's doing.......
I am currently working on a similar problem, cold she is awesome, fishtails into second gear, churps into third...but after a couple of miles she was acting really stupid, floor it from a dead stop and it would barely move, floor it from a slow roll and it would not have anywhere near the power it had cold, also it would have all kinds of crazy issues in third gear...after pulling the spark plugs I noticed one was wet on the threads with fuel....(Bad injector) I hope. Otherwise the Fuel pump is probably on it's way out. My point is you may have several problems.....
