and for some reason, my car didnt smoke hardly at all. there was a little but you had to really look to see it. everyone says its supposed to "smoke like hell"
I let it sit in the engine for like 15 minutes, why didnt it smoke?

what kind of gas do you use. If you use a good gas like chevron the techron they always talk about really works so it doesnt have as much carbon built up. Thats what the Redline guy told us at the last shop I worked at.

Did you put it in through the PCV hose line?

You're only supposed to let it sit for 5 minutes, maybe that has something to do with it

If you put it in your gas, it probably won't have the same effect.I know when you use the pcv route, it does smoke like all hell.

there are guys on crownvic.net that let it sit for 20+ minutes, and they have the same motor the mustangs have. there probably wasnt that much carbon buildup inside your motor.

you wont see as much smoke if you motor is already fairly clean which has alot to do with changing your oil at proper intervals and always using good gas .......IMO ........ I have used it on older cars before , always did a great job , works on floats sticking in the carb of your lawn mowers too LOL......
