Why not just get an injector cleaning kit? Its simple to do plus you can use it again. Works great or you can take it to a dealership and have them do it.

The damn dealership charges more than the freakin injectors are worth.

Do it yourself with the kit

Go to your local Autozone or whatever parts store and buy a botle of Lucas fuel injector cleaner/ fuel system cleaner / treatment all in one for a couple of bucks and save the trouble of removing the injectors and sending them out for cleaning. LUCAS dumdumdum!

The injectors are from my 98 camaro... I just put a 99ss motor in my 98... So i have the injectors out of the fuel rail and car... I plan to put them on the 99 motor because they are larger and i need them for the spray...

This stuff doesnt do anything. You need to use a injector cleaning kit that pressurizes the solution and runs the enigne off of it. Find a local shop or maybe even Fireston could do this for a cheap price. The crap in the bottle does nothing.

Call Exotic Performance here -> They can clean and flow test injectors. You'll have to send ship them, but it'll cover your needs and be done right.

The other suggestions were just routine maintenance options. The kit that force feeds the injector cleaning solution into the fuel rail is the best bet for routine maintenance IMO.

Call NAPA. There is one store in Houston that can clean and flow your injectors. I have used them. Its off 610 by the ship channel.
