Car cranks but wont start

It cranks and cranks but no start. I know the fuel pump is pumping, I hear it when I turn the ignition to on. Im also seeing 18 psi from my fuel pressure gauge with it in the on position. My battery is charge so I don't think that its the problem. I installed my spark plugs a few months ago, and they ran fine. Im lost, any help would be appreciated.

Right now the injectors are stock. I checked one plug and it was dry.
