I'm still coming. And yes, it will make it. Still runs fine, just that bank 2 is lean when I am higher than 10hg-in vacuum.

Like 11". More vacuum = bank 2 lean. Less vacuum or getting into boost = bank 2 same as bank 1.

Just keep it in boost ALL the time
Heres the part where I sound like an *** but I'm not trying....Are you using a Tq wrench when you do these rockers or winging it by feel? What makes you think some may be too tight? I know the way it runs is leading you to that but if you used a Tq wrench and and have double checked the Tq value, why would they be too tight?

The procedure for tightening them doesn't mention torque anywhere, so no torque wrench. There is a process to bleed down the lifters which basically involves getting the nuts just barely tight, tighten 1/4 turn, wait 10 minutes, repeat 7 times, then tighten down one last time and crank the locking nut thingy down at the same time. They didn't "feel" the same this time as they did the first time I did it, but since it fired right up on the first shot I figured everything was fine. Maybe it is, but it's just one more variable to eliminate.

Hmmm. Ive never messed with adjustable rockers either. Sounds like they are a pain to get setup. Good luck figuring it out.
