I cant speak for the engine treatment.
but the transmission product they offered did wonders for my old 95 contour

It was shifting hard as hell into second gear and I thought the tranny was done with. I used it and within 500 miles it felt good as new. It stayed that way until I sold it 10,000 miles later.

I just went out and put a bottle through the booster, I love how it smokes so damn much, people everywhere were staring, it was funny.

Seafoam is great stuff.

Feed a can through the brake booster vacuum line and another one in the gas tank to clean out the fuel system

Seafoam works great. Before my more recent plug change, I seafoamed the intake and put one bottle in my full tank of gas. Car ran great afterwards and even better after the plug change.
