Racor injector cleaner
Has anyone used or tried the Racor injector cleaner ?
A friend of mine suggested and recommended this and says it works good along with the regular stuff I use.

Snake oil works pretty good too. If you get pumped up enough, you can actually feel the placebo effect. I know of a guy who bought a bigger TB and swore that it gave him a noticeable power increase. Back to back runs at the track seemed to prove he went backwards.
If you think your injectors are dirty, send them out for cleaning and testing. On my Vette, they all felt strong and good. Too bad the cleaning and testing guy didn't agree. One had a bad basket filter and was down 10% or more at flow level. My MB diesel injectors felt good too. First time, 1 was dirty. Last time, 4 had bad nozzles, 1 acceptable and 1 borderline.
Don't believe SOTP dynos. You cannot clean a room in the dark. Sure, you have a pile of dirt and you think it is clean but you won't know for sure. How much dirt is left? Who knows? My best advice is to take it out and have it tested and cleaned at a diesel injection shop or leave it alone and forget the snake oil. With all you spend on weekly cleanings with snake oil, you could have paid for an injector cleaning and testing and KNOW what it is doing./

Racor is a company that makes injectors, some of the best filters in the world, fuel additives along with injectors. Their product isn't snake oil. It works.

OK. Flush it thru the injectors then. How do you know how much crud is cleaned off and how much is not? Can it tell if the pintle is worn? All of these can be addressed with a test. The rest is not prove yet, is it?
