Voltage problems...drops under wot

I tried this in LT1 tech will no help so ill give it a shot here.

I have always had this problem with the car. It drives around on 14.0 volts then under a wot run its at about 12.5 @6500rpm. This is one of the reasons my injectors are getting hit so hard. My alternator is a 200amp so that cant be an issue. I have an adjustable regulator on it, sent it in for testing no problems there. I re-wired all my main power wires with 1 gauge, so nothing is too small...Any ideas this seems to be a common problem with the LT1 cars. Anyone that can data log around here sees the same results as I, with LT1's. Even a few that can see the gauge drop under wot.

Not showing any signs, and no auditable noise on the dyno.
