We've typically seen 10 hp plus on cars that had KR and were cured with induction service.

I have stood by sea foam for years. I have heard of some one being able to make an un-passable smog car pass with just a complete sea foam cleaning. I did it too my buddys 220,000 mile Integra and didn't tell him it would smoke. I told him "just go drive around for 10 mins really fast". He was kinda pissed when he got back because he smoked his whole block out
