Default Injector Pop Test

Me and a buddy were wondering if and when it is necessary to pop test your injectors. He has a 94 with 290,000 on stock injectors. Im in the same boat with 220,000 plus. Any info is appreciated.

probably wouldn't be a bad idea if you don't have the coin for some new sticks. At least you could make sure all of them are spraying correctly.
