Default Replacing stock fuel injectors...

Is it better to replace the injectors or to just have them cleaned? My car has 98k miles. A place near me offers this...

Clean and Flow: ($18.00 per injector) Service Order Form

* Injectors are externally cleaned, visualy inspected, and numbered
* Injectors are tested for resistance, shorts, and current draw.
* Leak, spray pattern, and flow rate tests are performed and recorded
* Dirt, loose paint and rust is removed via a blasting process using walnut shell.
* Filter baskets, o-rings, and pintle caps are removed where applicable.
* A three step ultrasonic cleaning process in three separate ultrasonic tanks is performed. During this processes the injectors are pulsed at various rates. This ensures complete results.
* After ultrasonic cleansing a high pressure back-flush is performed to remove any remaining particles that might be left inside the injector and to flush the injector from ultrasonic cleansing fluids.
* The injectors are now retested for leak, spray pattern and flow, and the results are recorded.
* New filter baskets, o-rings, and pintle caps are installed where applicable.
* The injectors are now placed in sealed plastic bags.
* A comprehensive test report is prepared and returned with the injectors.


But if its better to replace them, what size will I need? I'm running completely stock.
Thanks

servicing them is fine. Don't waste your money replacing them with the same injector. Those Bosch 3's go forever. we have a special for the ls1 tech forum for 89.00 complete 24hr turn and we warranty our work for 3 years.

So I' send them to you and you'll return them the next day? I ship them monday, you get them wednesday ship them back thursday and hopefully i get them by saturday?

Thanks just trying to figure out how long I'd be without a car.

Are the stock injectors fine? I'm pretty much gonna keep my car stock, I just keep reading other people upgrading their injectors so I'm wondering if stock sucks.
