SEAFOAM - works great! Hi Folks
I tried Sea Foam for the first time and it works great. I totally amazed on the improvement in drivability. I used on 97 Z-28 (LT1), daily ride - the car was bucking in fifth gear (1500 RPM) when I gave it to much gas. Now it just pulls and does not buck anymore. It could be short term but I will find out.
I would recommend to everybody, great stuff.

Hi Folks
I used the Brake vacuum line - I used a restrictor in the line so it would only suck a very little at a time. I did at idle, did not have rev the engine at all. It appeared to work. I did not know about 3-5 cylinder issue. I might have to redo it. The car runs great, so I have to believe it did get to most cylinders.
Thanks
Bill

Oil is Mobil 1 (no need for additives), and I use Techron in the fuel tank

I thought you were supposed to use 2 cans? split one between the tank and the oil, and the rest in teh brake booster line.... Then run the car till its on E for a while, then change the oil.
