Default Fuel injection cleaning

Anybody know where I can get some info on doing a professional fuel injection cleaning myself? I know it is relatively easy, but with a vett, there may be some special procedure I need to follow. The 3 volume service manuel says nothing about how to perform this and what is needed.

You could try Seafoam. Goto google and type in SeaFoam Cleaner.

Go to the BG Products web site and click on Fuel / Induction Service
I use the BG 44 K and swear by it

This procedure is extreemly easy.

1. Fill take full of 93 Octane or what ever the highest is in your state.
2. drive car at WOT for the full tank.( go to a track and do track days or an HPDE )
3. repeat 1 and 2 above.

This many seem funny or too simple, but driving at WOT does a better cleaning then any additive.
