Default Fuel Injectors pulled and serviced

Pulled my 2004 SC fuel injectors for flow testing and cleaning. Sent them to Injector Rx in Houston who was great to work with and the turnaround time was within a week.
I pulled the injectors due to age and 120k on them. A few of injectors were out of spec but were cleanable / correctable.
So… injectors tested, cleaned, filter baskets replaced, new o-rings and grommets. I also replaced the fuel pressure dampeners.

Injector service cost $206 and included (2) tubes of o-ring lube and $1000 of insurance to ship back.

Any change in your fuel trims after the refurbishment?

Taking out the injectors and sending them off to be serviced is no doubt the best way to do it. However I was watching a sam crac video and he did it while the injectors were still in the car. Of course even he admits he has no way to see how well the cleaning worked

I considered going that route but I wanted the o-rings and filter baskets replaced also. With cleaned injectors / rails, new baskets / o-rings and dampeners I should be good to go.
