Default this car is a champ!

so I'm just shy of 85k miles in my 06 gt and the car still feels very young(cept for the broken in part). just wondering if seafoam would benifit me or not...I really want a 2011 gt but I'm just gonna push this car. I've been throwin around the idea of a force induction for a while now, if I do it would be a turbo,(without the bypass vlv, i hate those things, the fart is better heh) needs a clutch first though! feeling the syncros opening...all in all I'm very please with this stang, it'll be hard to let go when that time comes!

You mean the blowoff valve? I kinda like it but it's no supercharger whine.

I just put in some fuel injector cleaner which seems to have helped my otherwise bad milage. Just shy of 62k and I find that stuff to be cheap insurance against problems. I've heard good things about seafoam as well

I tend to use SeaFoam if I suspect a problem but typically run Techron thru a tank at every oil change or 10,000 miles whichever comes first. On my Toyotas, I've only ran SeaFoam on an as-needed basis and a fuel system cleaner on rare occasions and still had engines running great after 200,000 miles.
