Used a NON-GM top end cleaner...is my intake okay?
I used Amsoil's Powerfoam in my engine. It's a spray in top end cleaner. Anyhow, I read on another post that the non-GM products are bad for the LS1's plastic intake. On second evaluation the Amsoil does say that it's not recommended for plastics. <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />
My questions are: what are the chances that I've screwed up the intake? If I might have how can I check?
Thanks guys...

You should be fine. Have you ran the car and blew out all the cleaner? If so, having any idle problems? If not, then you don't have any vacuum problems which means you did not hurt the intake. The only way I could see this actually hurting something is if you let it sit for days...

i would call amsoil and ask them what they think. also how much did you spray and how long did it sit for? you could pull off you TB and look in if your really worried.
