Hook a pressure gauge (you can borrow/rent one from the parts store) up to the fuel rail - what kind of pressure do you get? Did you also replace the fuel filter? Do you have spark?

If you have spark and at least 28 to 40 psi fuel pressure, you may have to pull the injectors and get them bench cleaned or replace them.

60 lbs is way too much - the limit is about 45. Is the gas 6 years old?
