If a huge jet size bump didn't make a dent in it, I would look for a vacuum leak at rpm or a fuel flow restriction.
It would have to be a BIG vacuum leak (20% of total airflow?) to lean out the mixture that much at WOT on a 461 CID engine (Pontiac - cough, hack, gaaack).

I agree with looking at fuel flow restriction somewhere. He'll have to start at one end and go through everything (lines, filters, fittings, pump, etc.) thoroughly and systematically to find out where the restriction is.
