Seafoaming the v6
So I have about 60k on the car and I am looking to do some seafoaming on the car, but have some questions.
What line do I take off the engine to suck the seafoam in?
Should I do anything else when I am done? Change fuel filter, oil, etc....
Any negitives?
I did this on my old honda and it was good, but mustangs are a different breed and I want to make sure I have everything covered before I do it.
Thanks guys!

Sea foam is awesome!
That is, if you've got a bearing starting to knock, and you want to sell the car before the engine goes.
Of course, I can't completely knock Sea foam. They make a fuel stabilizer I use in all of my equipment when I'm not going to use it for a while (mower/generator/motorcycle/etc).

RE: Seafoaming the v6
Use the vacuum line off the brake booster, generally the easiest. Have someone help you and have them raise the throttle to about 2000rpm becuase pulling that line might kill it and you dont want to kill the engine with that **** running through it. You can use the entire can but its going to smoke for quite some time just drive down the freeway for about 10 minutes or something.

NEGATIVE! DONT DO THAT!
Fooie on the Vacuum Port method
You can cause serious damage. [

There is no point in sucking sea-foam into a vacuum port on the intake
on a multi-port fuel injected engine. None. It could lean or richen the
fuel mixture and cause all sorts of problems. Now using a professional
fuel injector cleaner where you insert the cleaner thru one of the fuel
rail, pressure test, schrader valves is a whole different story.
