Leaky injector ? Or not?

Hey guys so i was messing around with my fd a couple nights ago.
I was racing my buddy and i did a couple wop runs and basicly fouled the plugs.

So i bought new plugs (10's)
its still having a super hard time starting up.

Feels like it flooded like crazy.
When i pulled the plugs even after it sat for a day the plugs were wet as hell!

But once i get it started and rev it up it clears up idles a bit rough but drivabilty is great.

Its got power, boost, while driving and i let off the vacuum is at 25 but at idle vacuum is at 10.

Checked compression and that was good.

Any thoughts.

Btw bws366, street ported, hks twin power stock 550's and 1600's
pump gas and meth.

how much AI are you spraying? Where are the nozzles located. You could be "drowning" the spark a bit. G

The rough idle until you rev it up after starting was the same thing my car was doing when both secondaries where leaking like a sieve.

If you pull the rail you can usually see residue in the intake runner with the leaky injector.
