again....i wanna know if any pro teams use this stuff. if it works so good why doesn't anyone endorse it?!?! u don't see AMS with a "seafoam" green car with some nice paint job pushing the product. to me this is one of those threads that make me hate forum websites. u can't believe everything u read ....or see for that matter... on a website or a forum. again i'm open to ideas and anything thatd be good for my car. but since buschur or RRE or AMS or anyone else under the sun doesnt wanna push it. i wouldnt use it either if i had 10 50 gallon barrels shipped to my house for free. and thats all i got to say about that lol

I've noticed after running through a whole treated tank of gas that my idle has greatly improved, throttle response is better, and the car is slightly peppier. Cold starts are a bit easier as well, the engine doesn't sound like it's trying to choke itself in the mornings.

i mean it ddint smoke afterward, i let the car sit for 10-15 minutes before starting her up, was expecting a smoke fest. put 5.x ounces into the brake booster vacuum line, reaaaally slowly.. was it supposed to be a consistent suck in? I just did like tiny bit at a time, suck in air, tiny bit at a time, suck in air, etc...

Did you put it in with the motor cold like the first thing in the morning, or did you do it after you had driven the car. I usually do the intake after I drive home from work in the evening... like as soon as I pull up in the driveway before i shut the engine off while everything is still good and warm. Is that the way you did it? If not that may be another reason why there wasn't much smoke.

car was driven to autozone to pick up the seafoam.. i'm serious about doing it slowly though - i wasn't sure how fast or how consistent the suck in was supposed to be - it probably took like 5 minutes to get 5 ounces through. if that's not the issue im not sure why, cuz it all got in there.
Unhooker the brakebooster vacuum line, put a funnel in the line (go buy a small funnel) and pour it in. The car should have a higher idle because of the vacuum leak, so it will be sucking pretty good through the funnel. It shouldn't take more than 10seconds to put 1/3 or 1/2 the can in there. Basically you put it in as fast as you can without stalling the car. I was able to get mine in fast enough to where when I went to turn the car off, it had just begun to blow a puff of smoke.
then you let it sit for 10-15mins, start her up and let her get to operating temperature then go for a drive. once the car is warmed up properly, go WOT over and over until you see no more smoke

that's your problem. You want to load the head with seafoam and let it sit. If you did it that slow then it just burned off and didn't do anything.

What I did was, pour it in my bov vaccum line (only because my brake booster hose was attached pretty good and I didnt feel like struggling with it at the moment) but I left mine running at operating temp and it started blowing smoke then I let it idle for a little bit then gave it some revs and then once it stopped smoking take it for a WOT drive and get the rest of the smoke out
