Cleaning and flowmatching? who does it? well, i have my car down for a month or so (hate racing when its so hot out)
but anyway, i was thinking while its down i mine as well send my injectors out and clean/flowmatch them because they are getting old and have never been done.
i tried rc engineering, but they dont pick up the phone, and have no ans machine.

FuelInjectorClinic.com did these for me a little while back...
These 'spares' came off of a 175k DSM engine that had NOT seen a fresh fuel filter in a while.
These were really bad, nasty injectors. The fuel rail they came out of was lined with a nasty 'rust looking' crud. It took the wife a while to get it all out with a bore brush and carb cleaner. The Dumbass we got the car from could have prevented this with a $10.00 filter change once in a while...
FWIW, The Injector Clinic was very helpfull and took the time to answer ALL of my questions, no matter how dumb they were. The guy that helped me, Frank, is awesome! I called the day after he received them, asking about my injectors and he said that they had been shipped and were on the way back to me. Took less than a week to ship them off and get them back to me.
They send a printout/flowsheet back with the cleaned injectors that compares before and after flow rates... They replaced ALL the seals and o-rings as well as the pintle caps and the filter baskets with NEW parts. (this is especially good because 'some' folks sell the injector seal 'kits' for $20.00 or so... I only paid $80.00 for the injector cleaning and @$6.00 for shipping, and they replaced all the o-rings and seals too? Sounds too good to be real...) This is cool! Frank was really helpful and answered my questions, no problem, made it easy. Nice guy and did the shipping how I wanted to do it with no problems.
Before and after pics below:
Hope this helped you out some Noyzee...

(got the pics backwards )
The first pic is the 'Fresh' injectors + flow sheet that I got back along with all the old seals,o-rings, pintle caps and filter baskets that were replaced with NEW parts.
The last 2 pics are the injectors that were sent off to get done.
With @175k on them, They NEEDED it.
The DSM I am running these on is much happier now...
