well the injectors are brand new, as well as the o-rings, and i cant see ANY gas leakeage of any sort, or liquid in or around the inejctors. So a friend of mine came over last night, hes put together a few performance RX7's so he had some ideas, including the injectors might be stuck open. Aparently he said that the injectors might need a boost of voltage to get them to free up becuase of the cleaning solution they run through the injectors after manufacturing process might had dried and locked them up. so we hooked a wire to the battery and then to the injectors, and sure enough for the first few times, they didnt click. Then after working with them a bit, they did. So i think they were just stuck open. and now they should be working good. I have to wait till i get some time to crank it back up, it was hydro-locked again before we did that, and we spent the most of the time getting all the gas out.

hopefully that works for you. but i would still sugest running a compresion test, i feel it could still be a blown head gasket. sounds alot like what my car did. also if you where running rich you might have fouled the O2 sesor also, might want to replace that. that electrical plug on the back might have been to the secondary butterflys, just leave that unpluged. if it ends up being a head gasket, they really arent that hard to replace.

some stuff you can do to check for head gasket

open rad cap and run engine, if you have bubbles coming out you have a problem

change your oil, you might have gas, and coolent in it

change your coolent, if it has oil or what looks like could be exhaust or is brown in color, also that its not low, as it could be leaking into the cyclender and you would loss coolent and oil.

and do a compresion test, as you should get an off reading for the most part in the cyclender that has the leak

hope some of that stuff helps
