Don't worry I still have another jeep to do, I'm registering it tomorrow, and I'll have a vid up of it. It's auto so I can drive and tape at the same time lol.
Cobalt didn't like it too much though in the beginning. Flashing check engine light, misfiring like all hell was breaking loose. But it smoothed out after a few minutes and has been running like a champ ever since. I have no thermostat in the car right now (well it's stuck open) so all winter I driving the car around at an engine temp of @85 degrees which is not good for carbon buildup, man the **** that came out the back of the car was priceless

That vacuum hose will not come off of my car. Could I put it into the stub that sticks out of my cold air intake and shoot it directly in there? Removing the line that goes from my CAI into my valve cover?

Putting it through the intake manifold will just burn it off right away. You will want to let it soak in and let it sit in the intake manifold for a good 5-10 minutes to get the full effect. Be creative with some needle nose pliers and a flat head.

I did my SS/SC with 36000 miles a few weeks back and it smoked out half the neighborhood, then the next day i did my g/f's 2.2 balt and i didnt get so much as a puff of smoke out of it....wierd. then i did my moms kia sorento and it also poured smoke really bad and then we did my brothers 2000 silverado and again didnt get a puff of smoke. I dont know why some vehicles smoke a lot and others dont... anybody with more knowledge want to inform me?

from what i read from this thread, the amount of smoke depends on the amount of crap thats built up in the engine, so if you get alot of smoke you got alot of crud in your engine, if you dont get smoke, you have a realitivley clean engine lol

yea you might be right buy i find it hard to believe that my girlfriends car that she runs shitty gas through all the time with 50000 miles would have a cleaner engine than my car that i only run quality chevron or shell gasoline through... and my brothers truck that we seafoamed had over 100,000 miles on it and not a single puff of smoke, i used the vacuum line off the brake booster so i know i had a good vacuum source... i dont know maybe its just cuz i run my car harder and thats why i had more gunk built up.

You can blow a cat with Seafoam, but it's not common.
