And i forgot to ask too if bad fuel injectors would hinder performance that much or would it just bug the car on takeoff?

I dont have a lot of experience, but from what I have read the 350 tpi takes 22lb injectors. If you are not planning on doing a lot of performance mods that will require more fuel I have heard a lot of people suggest having them cleaned and flowmatched. I dont remember the company but their is one online that does it and caries a stock of injectors so that you dont have to wait for your specific injectors back. Maybe someone will post that adress if that is what you decide to do.

You should get that fixed as soon as possible.Today at work I was taking apart a LT1 intake that caught on fire.It was leaking as well and got too hot and melted everything and destroyed everything under the hood.
