Any shop can test them for you, or you can do it yourself if you have a fuel pressure gauge and an injector pulse tester. I picked up a pulser for $40

I want to say that either Racetronix, Thunder Racing or Harris Speedworks can test them. Not sure which one though.

You just send them off and they test them and send them back with the flow results. I think they clean them too.

Searching turned up that.

I guess i might be helping in the wrong way though. Do you think one of your injectors is clogged? Or just not functioning at all?
