Fuel injector cleaning?
I have been in the process of returning my 996 cup to the track after a 9 year hiatus. I figured the car sitting so long would not have been kind to the fuel system. I have a new fuel filter ready to install and wondered if it would be worth also adding a fuel injector cleaner to the fuel? I assume the injectors in these cars need servicing from time to time, however it’s not a topic I’ve ever come across in here.
Is is there any merit to the use of a fuel injectior cleaning additive? If so, should this be done before or after changing the fuel filter?
Thanks

Car sitting that long I would pull the injectors and have them serviced directly. There is always at least one that's not spraying correctly. I do it every 2 years and I use my car
As for cleaner I use Techron in all my street cars cant see how it could hurt on the cup however I would do it after you have the injectors serviced.

Thanks guys, I’m in Aus so will have to find a shop local to me, of which I know there are a few. Those who have done it, any noticeable performance gain or just something you do as part of the maintenance schedule?

Not hard to pull just a pain in the butt to get to . You have to send them out not a DIY
They have the proper machines to clean and they can test flow patterns
