Default spark plugs keep fouling

I have an 89 vette which has had numerous mods. I took it to fuel injection services and was going to have them reprogram my computer, but before they could they told me i had fouled 3 plugs and had an exhaust leak at my h pipe. Well i did not leave it for them to fix because they gave me some crap about having to take off the exhaust and take it to a muffler shop in the back of a truck. So i picked it up and it drove fine until i noticed that i had fouled more plugs. What could the problem be?

mods:
compression boosted 9:5 to 11:0
rebuilt motor
fully balanced
floating connecting rods
dual purpose street and track cam
hedman headers
centerforce dual friction clutch
cf pressure plate
cf flywheel
lingenfelter intake manifold
lingenfelter superram
52mm throttle body
afpr
heads 48 cc to 56cc heads fully ported and polished
roller rockers
msd wires
dual valve springs with titanium retainers
cloyes true timing chain
airfoil
k and n airfilter
frisbee gone

Fouled plugs: Overly rich mixture, oil getting into combustion chamber, weak spark.
