I think i put a f*cking hole in the ozone above my street after i seafoamed my car, damn car looked like the space shuttle launching. Bye bye carbon buildup, hello freed up hp.

I want to do this to my rides, but I am honestly concerned about my neighbors and people driving by on the street. I live in a very uptight town, especially when it comes to environmental issues.

Is the cloud actually toxic, or more bark than bite? I wonder if you could actually get in trouble for doing this...?

Ive got the same problems about neighbors. I was thinking about going to an industrial area on the weekend and doing it there. Ive got a few miles worth of em by my house, maybe this would be an option for you.

College town here, not much in the way of industry.

I'm actually considering doing it at night, with no lights on. That might work, I guess.

all you have to do is pull over in front of your house turn your hazards on a say something's wrong with my car. the mechanic said i had a major carbon build up.

This is probably a dumb question... But I need an answer..

Where the hell do I buy this elusive SeaFoam? I've looked everywhere, but can't find it. Maybe WalMart carries it?

I have bought it at Napa, Autozone, and Murrays. Any parts store should have it.

Orielly has it as well.

I would just make sure to do it at night or when traffic is very minimal. The smoke clouds can get very dense to the point of obscuring the view of teh street for traffic. I could easily see a police officer giving you some sort of ticket for it even if the reason is legit for doing the procedure.

Unless you are willing to wait at the industrial warehouse for a couple of hours I would find a better way to do it. I use about half to 3/4 of the can and then the rest goes in my gas tank. Let it sit for about a hour or so then fire it up. It might be hard to start or not want to rev much, just take it easy on the motor until it starts to respond on its own.

If done right and if you have some deposties it should look like the space shuttle just launched from your location.

The only place I could find it at was Napa. Usually they have it by the counter.

the cloud goes away fast but you can't help laughing as you see the neighbors wondering wtf, but even if they did call someone, the cloud goes away in minutes and smoke(the bulk of it) only came out for like 1/8 mile worth of running through the gears pretty good, then you couldn't see the smoke in the rearview, at least thats how it was with mine.

Tell them you've purchased carbon offset credits. Either that, or suggest that you're changing over to hydrogen...

No and its better for higher mileage cars as there is more buildup.

After doing this, how many of you noticed or felt that your car's engine ran differently?

ONEBADASSWS6

After doing Seafoam and the car definitely ran smoother.

I also changed the plugs afterward too, they were really bad.

I had my car seafoamed, it only had like 57k miles on so I didn't expect much change, but you can defintaly tell my car regained more HP.

Are the plug changes generally required after this? I've not yet done an LT1 plug change, and I'm not sure I want to tackle that just yet, as I understand it's a hassle.

ONEBADASSWS6

I'm sure it is. Took me about 2 hours to change the plugs on my LS1, taking my time of course. Cylinder number 8 is just a bitch to get to. You also have to deal with the whole mess of plug wires and changing the cap and rotor on the LT1, so figure even longer.

Plug change isn't required, but if you're do for one, thats the best time to do it. Seafoam burns off a lot of carbon and dirty crap in the motor, which isn't the best for the plugs. So if you can, schedule a tune up soon after doing Seafoam. And definitely don't do it the other way around
