Finally fixed my power and long cranking start issue, which was the dumbest thing possible: when I swapped a new fuel pump (AEM 320lph), I used the clamps that came with it. The hose was brand new, felt tight.
After sitting in fuel, the hose got softer and the clamp was definitely not tight enough to make a seal !

I first thought it was a fuel regulator issue, but yesterday I parked on an incline and as I turned the engine off, I could hear the gas run back into the tank
I then swapped the green injectors, engine feels much happier with brand new injectors
The mileage difference from factory injector+ janky pressure to brand new injectors/nice fuel pressure is about 30%
