Maybe that injector is sticking open and washing the cylinder down?

Thats what I'm stuck on, its either stuck open and washing it down, or not puttin any fuel out. The injectors are racetronixs 44# flow matched, have maybe 5,000 miles on em, hell i may have a bad connection, who knows..

That it is getting oil in the cylinder, or as you fear, too much fuel.

If you had a bad connection the spark plug wouldn't be brown would it?

Brown = too much fuel.

A fouled plug would be black or wet.
A poor electrical connection on the injector would cause the injector to not fire properly, which would result in a lean cylinder, and the plug would be white, not brown.

To the OP, I believe you may have an injector problem. If you don't want to send out the injectors until you know for sure, move that injector to a different cylinder and recheck it after you put some miles on it. Don't race it or beat on it until the problem is solved.
