I've used seafoam with other cars before, seems to work wonders. Definitely recommend doing it outside if your dropping it in a vacuum line and after 100 miles changing your oil. I have never put it in my tank but have ran it directly though injectors, crank case and vacuum line and its always cleaned things up. As far as damaging anything I have not had that experience, yet.

Used this on my honda last time and I believe the piston rings went out which caused oil burning issues... but I did notice the intake manifold was much cleaner and had more response on the throttle.

I take off the hose that goes from the bov to the intake manifold, and let it suck some seafoam in there as well. I don't remember where I saw that, but I tried it after using seafoam in the crankcase. It smoked up a lot, but seemed to idle and run better. At least the butt dyno thought so.
