The leak you are noticing could make a difference, especially if you also have a marginal fuel filter that's pulling a vacuum on the supply and sucking fuel back when you shut down. If you are seeing it at the bottom of the injector it is probably coming from one of the small (3mm) rubber return lines, easy to fix. The injectors themselves don't tend to leak but those lines are a routine wear item, if one leaks not a bad idea to do them all.
Replacing fuel filter never hurts either.
Again, though, a fuel delivery issue is made less likely by your statement that letting the plugs run multiple times makes it start faster. That suggests you are looking at a mechanical or glow related cause.
Did you check cam timing when you retimed the pump? Worth checking when you look at valve lash, you will have the valve cover off anyway. Remember to use the new style reusable rubber valve cover gasket (unless you already have it), the cork ones always leak.
Strong cranking speed also is important, got the correct size large Group 93 battery in good shape? Good cables, terminals, starter?
