Default Start and Stall after injector service

97 850t starts, runs for 1 second then stalls. Occasionally surges on randoms starts before stalling regardless. Exhaust smells of gas. Car ran fine prior to injector work.

Had orange fuel injectors serviced by Injector RX in Texas. They were considered in poor condition prior to service with the flow rates between 270-290. They run at 320 now.

The injectors have OE o-rings and are seated properly with no leaks. No gas leaking into regulator vac line. Throttle body, MAF and IAC valve cleaned and reinstalled. Back up fuel relay swapped in. ECU reset by extended battery disconnect. Ignition overhauled 6 months ago (plugs, wires, cap, rotor). Battery is fully charged. I did notice the fuel pressure a little high at 46 with key in position 2 and during the second it runs.

I’m guessing the ECU isn’t getting enough time to re-learn the new injector flow and engine is getting too much fuel. If that’s the case I’m not sure how to assess it. I know a vac leak is possible as well but figured I’d check with the forum before ordering a smoke machine.
