My mechanic said that the Techron additive is good, but it generally fairly weak to get out any nasty stuff. He is putting BG44K and will run it through about 1/2 a tank. He said it should be done with a relatively clean fuel filter and you shouldn't let it sit in your gas tank for too long.
I'll report back how the car runs after I pick it up for routine maintenance next week. Having the oil, filter, brake fluid changed, new tires, fuel treatment, tech inspection + brake hoses (for a DE event on May 9th), and new plugs installed.

I dropped in a can of 44 K based on that thread "OVER THERE"...so far I've driven about 250 miles in both city and country and run through about 2/3 of a tank of gas. Have detected no difference at all.
That's not to say it's not doing its job, or that it's no good...but I haven't seen any difference. I'm due for an oil change soon, so I'll pack a sample off to Blackstone and see what they say.

The best way to run injector cleaner is with a long spirited drive, or a DE. When I tore my 130k engine down after the track mishap, it was surprisingly clean inside-piston tops included. Although, tuning can affect that too. When I took it down the next time, after running the Berry multichip (I knew it was rich) a lot, not as much track time, there was a lot of carbon on the old pistons.

Doyle, that was a good read, and brought back some good memories. I agree with Ed on the concept of good tuning and tracking makes for a clean running engine. Ray, maybe your engine simply doesn't need BG44k because it's clean already. Good, you must be driving it and taking care of it properly!
