I would....you dont need the spray though.
stick a vac line in the bottle and let it suck up some till she stalls then leave the truck set for awhile and then fire it up...and watch the smoke fly.
you can check the seafoam website for more info

my buddy with his zr2 is doubtful of its effectiveness... how effective is it with the engine and its ability to restore lost power. did you do all three steps. gas, oil air?

I did mine a couple years/engines ago lol. It ran smoother after a long haul afterwards.

A lot has changed since then with the engine mods etc, that was stock, dual exhaust (obviously) & a CAI.

Box, what box? What do you mean?
My "duals" are a single in, dual out with the pre cat removed. Pre cat was removed after that vid was taken btw. It sounds 'healthier' now but not obnoxious. Surely isn't sounding like a mom n pops grocery go getter lol

Ive heard that the way the vortec engines are designed putting the seafoam in through the vac line only covers the back two cylinders, and that why they make the intake spray kind. I think Swartlkk said something about that.
