There are other benefits to the cleaners than just the injectors. Late model vettes were having issues due to sulphur in the fuel fouling up the pick ups and level sensors. Large doses of techron was a fix.

My FIL is very adamant and always highly recommends Sea Foam in all kinds of things..thoughts? Even Dodge has this fix for non rotating valves.

Mopar was selling combustion chamber cleaner which was supposed to be some pretty stout stuff. you pull the spark plugs and fill the cylinder with it. did they pull this off the shelf? GM guys were all over it especially the ones w/ the AFM 5.3's that burn more oil than fuel.

I have used seafoam in the past on my mustangs and trucks. Does a pretty good job of cleaning it out. Especially if drawn through intake.
