Well, ladies and gentleman, stangnet does it again, I put half of bottle of Seafoam through the upper plenum, than the gas tank. At first it didn't smoke at all. Then I started to drive it, then smoked like I'd just did a burnout. And man, the car seemed to have a new engine feel. The throttle response is unreal compared to what it was. Now I am going to do this for all vehicles I come in contact with.
Now would it benefit the car if I got aftermarket fuel rails with the stock 19lb injectors I have now. I saw some on ebay and wanted to know if it would help besides the way it looks.yayor nay I have a returnless system, that I know of. thanks.

Aftermarket fuel rails wont help you one bit until around 550/600rwhp and up.

No, fuel rails won't do you any good at all.

And SeaFoam FTW.

Ok, i had an inkling that I needed to leave my fuel lines and pump alone until it goes bad or some kind of forced air induction. Yea the seafoam made my car seem like it had some kind of chip. LOL! I hope this stuff stays some what of un-commercialized product to keep price down because it works that good. Hmm, what can I do to a non-aspirated engine fuel system that will up HP?

Nothing at this point as far as replacing parts, just keep your fuel filter changed within 30,000 miles.

Nothing will help you in fuel until your car needs it in order to put out what it's trying to. If all ur engine is (for instance) making is 270rwhp and u can safely support 275rwhp (in all circumstances) there's nothing that's going to help power in fuel.

I agree... it's $8 where I am and I think that is too pricey.

^Theres a huge debat over the effectiveness of it. Some engine builders say that they have ran it through an engine then disassembled it, then disassembled an engine with out seafoaming it and they say both engines looked exactly the same on the internals. If for no other reason to use it, it makes a sweet smoke show.

The only way I see it working is burning carbon buildup off of pistons and combustion chambers. Think of it like a steam bath for the pistons and combustion chamber.

As far as using it as a supplement to the oil, forget that. I'm sure it DOES do something (thin oil out, cause dirt/sludge that is otherwise secure to break loose and possibly end up in the oil pump pickup screen, or end up sludging up the pump). I've used it through the intake, and would probably use it through the fuel system as well, but no way in hell I'd put it in the crankcase. Just my opinion.
