injector cleaning/blueprinting
Have any of you guys had your fuel injectors cleaned/blueprinted? The reason I ask is my car seems to be hesitating about 5k, it sputters and even died out one time (stock 89 crx si motor with headers/intake). Seems to be leaning out so I'm guessing it's the injectors since I have 180k miles on the engine. Tried the pour in fuel injector cleaner and that was crap, from what I've heard the only way to truely clean them is to take them out and send them in to a real service place but it's going to run about 100$ for the set.
If you've had this done and live in so cali I'd appreciate any places you recommend, otherwise I'll probably send them to rceng.com, they are in torrance.

Wow, seems like good stuff, I looked it up on the net. The site is seafoamsales.com. Anyone use this yet? Here's a quote I found:
"Well, luckily the weather's nice today so, I was able to do this outside. The Seafoam worked as expected with lots of smoke, but I guess that means it's clearing the carbon out. I dumped some into the brake booster line a little at a time and it stalled. From the label, it said to let it sit 5 minutes, so I let it sit and came back, started it up (took a few cranks) -- I then went out onto the highway and opened it up -- more white smoke; plenty of redline run-ups and now it purrs at idle and the valve clatter is gone. I assume that it'll continue to work away at the carbon over the next week or so. The exhaust tip was really black, so there's another sign of carbon gone.
The car did throw a Check Engine Code of P0500 "Vehicle Speed Sensor". The engine idled cyclically from 1000-3000 with the brake booster line off, so I guess that's the reason. I'll reset the code and see what happens.
It was kinda embarrassing driving around the neighborhood looking like I was burning oil, but I guess that's the price for a clean machine. I'll tell the neighbor then everyone will know what's going on ;-)"
