New injectors in. I noticed car sitting and at WOT some smoke from driver engine bay side. Not sure if it was just a little extra fuel burning off or something else. I may inspect oil I know my radiator fluid has been low twice in the past month or so I thought it was just from the heat I hope it's not head gasket. I can't see any leaks what so ever.

Fuel that came out of fuel rail smelled bad and I saw orange small flakes in it along with a pink hue of color.

Have you checked your fuel hat pump/filter. If that gunk got past the inline filter and to the rails, I garauntee it gunked up the pump and filter in the tank. I would have started there first.

Thats whats next. I didnt think it would make it past the filter but it did just found out.
How do your plugs look? Or have you not removed them again?
Plugs look good but I'm not getting on the car hard.

I've only run Shell 93 since day one. No issues at all and the original motor looked fine. Now that I've moved, I can't get anything but 91 up here. I still only run Shell though. Sunoco is too expensive. I just run Shell 91 and Torco now. Still on HT0's with about 30K on them.

Here is my log fuel pressure going in the 20's when I hit 4k rpm ??? Normal should be 40-75 psi from the book.
