Worked great, used 1/3 in gas tank, 1/3 in oil, 1/3 in vacuum line (right off of the booster).

Probably shouldn't be revving it up that high for that long in park/neutral....

don't forget to change your oil in about 10 miles since you put it in the crank case

yea i reved it to about 5,500 a few times lol wasn't too good for the trans. i put it into drive and it just rolled down the hill like it was in neutral. whenever my trans gets too heated it shifts all weird. but as soon as i changed the trans fluid/filter, and changed the shift cable i shouldn't have the problem

and yea i changed my oil 12 hours after that. drove 5 miles.

Not true, you can leave it in the oil longer, it just gives it more time to work. Many people put it in like 200 miles before they change their oil. First time I did it my car poured out more smoke than that haha. And yeah I thought you were supposed to use the vacuum line off the booster running to the upper intake?...

The brake booster is fine if you only wanna clean runners that go to cylinder 6. I took my intakes off, and the lower runners that lead to cylinder 6 were very clean. . . .all the others were dirty and gunked up as hell.

When I put seafoam in my oil I run it for 2500mi before I change it. Seafoam actually recommended to use it that way when I called them.
