I don't think there's any doubt the injector size can be attributed to a portion of your problem as the fuel never breaks apart and atomizes, but pass out the exhaust as hydrocarbons; you'll never see it on your O2. However, I'd say the atomizing abilities of your precision injectors are far superior to RC's since you've achieved the numbers you have. Upping the pressure may aid to a small extent.

Also, remember that flame speed is somewhat proportional to rpm due to increasing turbulence with rpm. This is the reason why many engines require no or very little timing ramp-up with rpm and actually achieve MBT and peak power thereafter by simply using a flat timing curve. By a simple observation of most stock Honda maps you'll see that, which I'm sure you've noticed.

A stock vtec-e doesn't even engage leanburn until the rpm's come up off of idle.

What gear are you running in 5th at the moment? There may still be room for increase by using an HX 5th - I believe that generation is interchangeable.


Edit: Ahhh, 7.4:1? static compression... Might be worth mentioning that may be a notch low due to today's standards on a turbo app. Even 8.5 is sufficient for 30-40 psi. Personally, I would have issues with going lower than 10:1 because pre-boost torque is golden to me. With high turbulence pistons, we are able to now run moderately high CR ratios, with a matching head chamber to accommodate it of course. Nevertheless, 7.4:1 and those numbers already!! - think of the possibilities...
