I'd just degrease the whole thing, maybe take the injector lines off of the metering block and blow them out with compressed air. I wouldn't do anything to the bowl. It's set to lift the plate with a certain amount of air, and if more air gets by, you're cheating it out of the proper amount of fuel. Even if it did work, power gains would be negligible.
All the time you would take cleaning dirty injectors would be worth just buying new ones. Cleaned injectors never stay clean for all that long.
