yeah i was thinking the same thing and some ppl say it clogs up the cat but i said screw it and did it anyway with it on (mainly cuz i have nothing to put in its place) but i didnt get a check engine light r anything. but the lancer did for about 10miles then it went away.

O and through all this i found something out that i dont really know what it is yet. but there was smoke coming from my headers, any ideas. maybe somethings loose or hopefully not cracked but idk if smoke would come out of a tiny crack

what about Z-max, I think that's what it's called. Shelby endorses it, anybody try that in an Evo? Anyone know what the benefits would be? or the possible damages?

Do I have to replace the spark plugs after running the seafoam through the vacuum hose?

From: digging for oil
guys i came across this thread, and i noticed a bunch of gear heads intersted in keeping their top end clean.

first take a look at our prods they have a great report, many evo heads have done it and are happy with it ,,, we will actually be doing some testing saturday on the dyno with our tunner Jestr he will be logging and suporting our testing,,,,

our prods are safe on o2 sensors ,,, oh and the smoke is not crazy like sea foam,,, the only smoke that you will see out of your exhaust will be the carbon deposites and if any oil deposites from blow by ,

you guys will be amazed with the results the driveability and your performance comes back to manufacturer specs or to whatever your mod list is.

if any one has any questions do not hesitate in sending a pm to us.

It probably won't hurt. But it likely wont do any good if your car is well maintained

well maintainned whe you say that you must mean, that the car is being serviced with some type of top end internal cleaners like, Wynn's or BG

because no matter ho well you maintain it, by just changing oils regularly and putting in high quality fuels, you still have blow by that happens in any engine and you still are burning pertrolium based fuels and those leave behind carbon deposites when they combust and the oils stick to your internals, so with that being said in order to maintain a clean engine you have to use special detergents and cleaners that are also safe for your seals, and different types of metal components that are present in our engines.
