Seafoam works pretty good. I've had good luck with it. However you may notice that for about 5 minutes your car will run rough. Untill it burns the seafoam off and everything. Then you're good to go. Enjoy the smoke 
haha Best stuff I've found is SEAFOAM "DEEP CREEP" - its seafoam in an aerosol can. Take your air intake tube off and start the car (yes it will run with the tube disconnected) and rev it up some and just start sprayin. When you shut it off I like to spray the butterfly and inside the manifold. Another thing that works is if you take the tube off your IAC and stick it in the can of seafoam. JUst dont choke the engine.... just send in little bits at a time.

I've used it because I was getting pinging with my timing advanced. It fixed that up right away. Lot's off smoke so be ready for that.
A friend of mine has an older (94 GT) Mustang. His was losing oil and pinging under normal driving conditions. after using it he isn't losing nearly as much oil and the pinging is reduced. He is going to continue to us it as he changes his oil. He doesn't want to use a whole bunch at once since his car has 180K already. It has done what he wanted.
Others at work have used it on their cars and not had any problems either, so I think it is pretty safe. The thing to look out for is if you have an oil leak that is plugged by sludge, the seafoam will remove it and you will leak oil again. Also make sure to change your oil after you use it, bout 200 miles, or a full tank of gas.

I can't get it up......ok that didn't sound right.
I just took my brothers stock upper intake off the car, as I'm in the process of swapping upper intakes to the BBK plenum, and let me tell you something. I've never seen more oil residue in my life on an intake system. I'm glad I made a PCV filtration device to keep the oil out of it. However, there is still oil residue in the lower intake. Might have to use this seafoam stuff to see how it works.
This "smoking" thing sounds pretty cool. I think I might have to try this in my drive way and see what the neighbors think. It will be funny when they call up the Fire department and tell them the car is on fire. :lol.
