207k Miles + Sea Foam = W-O-W!

207k Miles + Sea Foam = W-O-W!
So I followed the sticky for Sea Foam. Took it for a spirited drive down Atlanta Highway here in central Montgomery. First run, I took it up to 80. Looked back and noticed that I would have a better chance at looking through a brick wall than through the smoke. Next run I hit 120, and the damn car coughed up another train.... I did a couple more runs, and then it stopped. Moral of the story: Sea Foam your car often.

^^^ Yeah probably but it's not that expensive. I did this treatment to my '96 Z28 when i bought it. HOLY smoke batman car ran AWESOME afterwards. I haven't done it to my Vette but idk if i'll have to because it's getting heads/cam/LS6 intake and probably won't be to dirty. Who knows with that , but if anybody doesn't know if they wanna do it, trust me, it's worth it~Cole~

^ Only need to change the oil if you do a seafoam cleaning by dumping some seafoam in the oil. That always got me a little weary so I've only done seafoam through the brake boaster hose and the fuel tank to clean the injectors.

I have always done the full three part treatment on vehicles I have used seafoam in. I have never experienced any troubles. Just do not leave it in for longer than the sticky recommends.

^^^ i agree i've done the full treatment and no issues. I may do this on my truck soon here. It is amazing what it does, really....Basically what i did is drive the car around 1 day before i changed the oil after i did the full treatment. IDK, maybe 100 miles. the oil had about 2k miles on it already but when i dumped the oil it was BLACK as Black can be. Stunk real bad too. The next oil change at 3k miles the oil was still pretty damn clean. All the changes prior to the seafoam treatment the oil was really black. GM topclean does a good job too but i'd have the dealer do it. It's REALLY strong sh*t

hu, guess I will give it a shot. I used to work at a delivery company that called some stuff "smoke treatment" that sounds similar (pull off a vacuum line and dunk it into the jug of stuff). That was there fix all when it came to rough idle or stalling at stops...

I recently did a Seafoam treatment on my SS and my daily driver (Neon). I used the PVC line instead of the brake booster. I got some pretty good smoke out the back from both, and my daily ran a little smoother afterwards. I don't think the Camaro was all that dirty to begin with. My oil wasn't as black as I expected though with either car. I ran about 125 miles before I changed it. I think it's definitely worth doing.

I have this on the agenda for this weekend. I had a MELTED cat, so my **** was all running back into the engine. While the car has only 59K on it, it is a 95 and I think she needs it, because my engine seems bogged down now.

I'm going to do this to my Camaro in about a month or so, before I do my header install. The car has 72K on the clock, so it should put on quite a display from the tailpipe.
I've considered seafoaming my truck, but at damn near 200K miles (TBI 350 V8), I'm not sure if it would create more problems than it solves...
