Default Seafoamed but no smoke??!?!?!?!

Yea i just seafoamed my 01' today and there was not a hint of white smoke........

I did it to my 69' and it was a freakin smoke show, but the 01' had nothing. under acceleration i got a slight cloud but it went away. It has 47k on it...to low of miles haha. It does run and idle smoother.

Mine didn't smoke much even with 137K. Seafoam is great, but it won't make it look new on the inside. Some stuff is really really baked on there.

You're spraying it. That's why. Nitrous really cleans up the interior.

I seafoamed my 01 WS6 with about 100k on the clock and it was a smoke show. Then i went thew countless bottles of nitrous in about 8k miles. When i pulled the apart the motor there wasnt very much carbon or anything. Either way, seafoam and spray the hell out of it and you will keep your motor clean and running good
