It may just be easier to use the adapter in the intake but my cai might not fit the spray adapter cause its metal on metal. Not rubber.... might have to go through the booster...

Good point..

Now that i think of it.. the brake booster line will get all the cylinders, it just wont get the front two very well because it comes in the back of the engine. But i guess thats why you need to keep your RPM's at about 2k so that it gets spread a little more evenly. So either way will work, and you will notice a difference. Or at least i did when i put it in my tuck. and i tried both ways.

I put 1/3 in the gas tank, 1/3 in the crankcase and the other 1/3 into the brake booster hose...The reason I do it through the booster hose is because the RPMs will jump to 2K due to the major vacuum leak. I pour it in slowly and as the can empties, I pour it in faster until it dies...Wait about 5-10 minutes and restart and watch the smoke show.

Massive vacuum leak.

On the 96+ trucks, disconnect the MAF sensor, pull the intake plenum off the throttle body, start the engine, & pour down the throttle body manually adjusting the throttle to keep it from stalling. Couldn't be easier.

Pour slowly when you use this method please! lol not super slow but slow.

But i always thought the engine wont run very well at all if you take the plenum off the TB, or wait.. I guess thats why you need to disconnect the MAF huh..
(so the computer wont think the engine isn't getting any air when its running?)

I have a question about adding this to the gas tank....how often should it be added and is it best to do on an empty tank? What benefits have you all seen from adding this?

Worked like a champ didn't even stall. Let it sit for15 and smoke up the neighbors. Major fog bank!
