I can't wait to do the seafoam treatment on both cars. Sux I just changed the oil on both this past weekend. And the free mods are on the to-do-list.

No! Don't get run flat tires. Run flats are heavy, that is why they were the first thing to go on the Z06 when it came out.

Drive to the strip with your spare and jack. Remove it at the track, then drive home with it.

get a 2lb compressor, 1 lb for two cans of fix a flat, and get a 1 lb tire plug kit with a set of pliers just in case. 4 pounds to remove 37. most flats are caused by a screw or nail. you pull the ******, clean the hole, plug it, and air it up. fix a flat is for when you cant find it or inclement weather. then get the tire off when you get a chance to get that **** out of there before it starts eating away at everything. i have had a flat and still didnt use the spare bc i was prepared.

for how big of a PITA that would be, i'd say its not worth the 1-3 hp.

the worst i've heard was it restores performance and makes the car run better
