Running rich won't get you "max power" it will just waste fuel. And if you are so rich that your plugs are carbon fouling then you are WAY too rich.
If you want max power, get your car dyno tuned. You want to see between 12.6-13.0 air/fuel ratio on pump gas. The actual number will depend on what your car responds best to.
Also keep in mind that your WOT may be fine, and you might be building all that fuel up on the plugs on your low side fueling. Again, that's something best to be done by a competent tuner.
