I removed my upper and lower intake to clean out oil residue before i installed my catch can. Got everything back together smooth with no issues. When i went to drive the car it has a significant power loss. It was acting like it was starving for fuel so i checked all of my injectors and connections but couldnt find anything out of place. I even tested my fuel pressure and it was around 30psi. Could i have possibly gotten dirt in one of the injectors? ? The car ran great before this so i know i had to screw up something when removing the intakes but cant figure of what it would be. I am thinking about taking it all back apart again and going over everything. Anyone have any other ideas on what i can look for?

More then likely one of your gaskets was damaged or isn't seated correctly. That will cause a vacuum leak and kill power.
