Just to clarify, the OP's problems are on PARTIAL throttle.
To my understanding, I dont think that your FPR settings will affect your partial throttle settings too much.
As we discussed over instant messanger EK9max, on partial throttle your ECU is still adjusting for AFR. So if you feel a bog, its doesnt necessarily mean its due to rich conditions. If your FPR is giving too much pressure, I would assume the ECU would reduce the duty cycle of your injectors to compensate for the extra fuel pressure. Your graph above is of WOT, so I think its pretty irrelevant when trying to troubleshoot your problem.
I think your belt routing is highly suspect. If your belt is routed improperly, or perhaps is rubbing a bolt, then it may cause your car to "fight" or resist partial throttle acceleration. I'd pay close attention to the belt or any strange noises coming from the belt. Also check for irregular belt wear.
my two cents...

it's more of a low rpm thing rather than a WOT and partial throtle thing.
And above 6000 it feels ok. But that migh tjust be because it's faster than before when i didn't have a sueprcharger.....

OK, this is where it was unclear. I thought you drove it from the dyno for a little while and it was "OK" and the latest problems started after the initial drive home.
In this case, I would suggest you try one turn and see if it changes anything for the better or worse. Don't go beyond the 3 turns that was done. Maybe go to another dyno facility.

On the dyno when he read LEAN. We turned it once. And that really didn't maek a difference. So we turned it 2 more times. That's when the AFR's went richer.
I'm starting to think that a faulty wideband at davenport may be the culprit. However at idle I coudl see that iwas reading great at 14.5-14.7 range.

its hard to say...
im running 6.5 psi with a smaller pulley and my car is definitely a dog at 2000rpm regardless of throttle position...

When I leave the lights, I have ride the cluthc a bit to prevent bogging/stalling

Well I got my esm connections checked. They are soldiered and have good contact.
All vacuum lines and everything is hooked up properly with no leaks.
I turned the FPR back 3 turns. So it's set back to what it was out of the box.
And teh car is running better/peppier. I haven't gone above 6000rpm because i'm scared now.

, every s2000 is a dog and since you have a SC it might be worse than a none SC at that RPM.

Sounds like you're running too rich before boost. Low tens before boost may cause the car to stutter/stumble - have you noticed any black smoke during those conditions?
Something which might be worth reiterating at this point is that you've added a freer flowing exhaust which may be the culprit for your higher AFRs after vtec.

However now I'm stuck in a pickle.... Daily drivability, or safe VTEc.
I'm still thinking that the dyno's wideband was wrong for some reason.
