Default Anyone use Seafoam?

Well I got some Seafoam($6 at Aurozone) and threw some in while I ended up replacing my wheel studs on the cobra, and bled my brakes.

Man this stuff is awesome!! Best induction cleaner yet that I have used(BG, everware crap, and a few others). I put it directling into the intake via pcv.

Car is much smoother and crisper all the way to 7,000 rpms and there is a more noticable pull again right around 3300 rpms

My brother used it on his 'Lude and it definitely helped.

just have to be careful not to use it too much, or you'll start burning holes in the top of your pistons.

The only thing i dont recommend SeaFoam for is for oil treatment, i put it in a car that 180k miles, and it was running fine and then 3 days later i heard nothing but valves tapping and loss of oil pressure. it works too good.

It cleans out your combustion chambers and breaks up carbon deposits making your car run better.

However... if you have a shitbox w/ lots of miles, gunk and carbon is helping to seal the engine and cleaning it out will make it run crappy like mentioned above.

Personally I a bottle of techron fuel system cleaner every oil change (6000k) and beat on my car. Driving the piss out of it (HPDE's) keeps deposits from building up.
