Get your injectors cleaned!
If you're planning on doing a hose job, plan on doing the fuel system while you're in there (fuel pulsation damper, recall kit, etc).
Look at how dirty mine were
I think these injectors had about 95k miles on them.

Call me gramps!
My injectors were cleaned and balanced when the motor was rebuilt, but I don't have any before and after numbers on hand. Just a quick question -- did you regularly (at least once every 6k miles) use fuel injector cleaner?

It cost $114 to do all 4.
WaLieN: I just got this car about a month ago, so I really have no idea if injector cleaner was used in the past. Doesn't look like it!

Remember to check your injectors before you put them in.
I had mine sitting for about a month. Didn't think of re-checking them before I put them in. And #1 primary was completely stuck closed. I think I messed up my engine starting the car.
So hook up some 12v and make sure they're firing.
I also use injector cleaners regularly for the 5 years I had the car. but the # were still not very good. So getting them clean seems to be the only way to go.
