The above is stated directly in the write up. Again its a matter of opinion but i would rather have a smoother idle, a more consistent fuel delivery and a safer engine then 10%-15% better air flow.

Now on the seafoam do you guys just put it in the gas or do you put it right in the intake. I have seen some vids on the net where they put it in the intake and it smoke everything out. I thought of trying it but i am affraid of the consiquence if any.

Through the vacume line on the lower intake manifold will be fine. In the gas or in the oil will also be fine. Follow the directions and you'll be good to go.

It's all preference. I like using the hose going to the brake booster. You can pour it in relatively fast and let it soak into the engine for a while, then take it out and blow the cobs out.
