Does Injector Cleaner Work?

I was thinking about buying some injector cleaner to throw in my tank. Does this work good? i dont have the money to have them professionally cleaned out. I need your opinion.

It depends on how dirty your injectors are. I believe it works, and if your car has NEVER had it, it could make a noticeable gain. Otherwise, it may not. I put Castrol Syntec in mine every 10k miles, and now I don't notice a difference. But when I 1st got the car, my dad hadn't thrown any in in 30k miles, and it made a big difference.

First time you'll notice a nice change, I know I did. I put in some 104+ Octane Booster/Injector cleaner in then put some 93 octane in after that and wow!
