What I've read has been pretty positive. I have no personal experience so I can only go on advice of others. Can you suggest a better way to help with the carbon buildup? What are the risks/bad effects of using sea foam? Thanks.

Buy the mopar combustion chamber cleaner. You will have to order it online. It is like $7 plus $3 shipping.

I ordered mine from these guys, nice quick shipping.

Drive the car around for 5 minutes. Take the pcv hose off going to the port behind the tb and put some 3/8th line on there, get 3 feet or so to make it easier. Have a friend start it. Start spraying, before the can runs out, have him shut it off so it doesn't get sucked out the exhaust. The longer you let it sit after, the better.
