Default Issues with idle and revving

So my car has been sitting for about a year getting paint and the engine bay cleaned and painted. All was hand cleaned btw but I’ve been moving towards getting it running right again. When I bought the car it ran fine, sounded great and idled smooth. I relocated the fuel lines and some wires but they were all labeled and plugged back in. Well my car runs like **** now and I can’t figure out why. The only actual modification I did was add a nos plate however I haven’t got around to completing the NOS install so i ran the lines to the solenoids and that’s it.

Do these symptoms stick out to anyone?? I’ve attached some videos of what it’s doing. In the first video the car starts like this every time then idles high and shifty, during the part where I zoom in on the injector, while checking for vacuum leaks with a fog machine, smoke became to home from this injector.

In in the second video when revving, it does not maintain a constant RPM and back fires at higher rpm. The car is also producing a little bit of white smoke from the rear on higher revs
