Default Zmax

how well does zmax work? speed tv shows seem to praise it. is it what it is made out to be or is zmax just paying to have speed tv glorify their products. my buddy has an 02 z28 and i have a 96 ss and we were considering using it and wanted to know what to expect. my car has 124k and i imagine it has some pretty nasty buildup on the internals.

its a waste of money. run good oil and keep everything clean, you can use seafoam to clean everything.

That's called money...they'd promote tampons & tinactin if they were sponsoring the show too.

LMAO, I saw that episode of trucks a couple of weeks ago. IIRC zmax got sued because other than the fact that it didn't do anything good, it doubled carbon build up
