Default DI injectors are they bad or can I just clean them

I the process of a cam swap on my L86. Here are some pic of how dirt my injectors where. Can I just clean them or do I need to replace them.

If i do need to replace them can I use LT4 injectors for the extra flow with my stock HPFP with a last cap and my cam will have a 32% over fuel lob?

send them in to be cleaned and flowed. I just spent $140 to have some injectors cleaned and flowed with new o-rings.

Sound good looks like I'll send them off to them and save me some money, at 25 a piece that's not bad at all. I need to replace at least one because I cracked the electrical connector trying to pry the rail out.

Are there any specialty tools need to remove these DI injectors from the rails? I can't seem to get a straight answer.
