Default Dumb question

Would it be okay to put a bottle of SEAFOAM in my tank and bring it to the track tomorrow? or should i put it in today with 3/4 of a tank and run it through before bringing it to the track?

Dont put anything in your tank except gas, and then only the octane required by your engine...

It probably will make your car run like **** for a while. Put it in tonight and run it till it's normal again.

The purpose of the Seafoam is to clean and remove carbon build up. I would do it before I went to the track. Best method is to suck it into the intake via a vaccum line. Let it die. Sit for 10 minutes and run it betwwen 3 and 5k rpm's until the smoke clears. Then take it to the track.

I'm not 100% certain if this is true with seafoam, but every other fuel system cleaner or anything similar says you use the stuff and then you need to change your oil. so I don't think you want to run your car hard with that stuff in it.
