Default best way to seafoam?

i got a 98 3.9 sport and was wondering what is the best way to run seafoam through the intake? right down the TB or through the brake booster vacuum?

Brake booster if you want to run it into your intake. You can also use it in the gas tank and the oil.

gas tank, down the brake booster, and crankcase. some say to change oil after crankcase but its up to you. if you want a smoke show do it in the crankcase.

You just took the hose out of the booster and put it in the seaform container and let it suck it up? How did it work? Notice any difference?

bpark, thats what i did but its easier to put it in a cup or somthing first (sip it slow). after you let it sit for 30 minutes and start it up it should smoke out the tail pipe. did mine at 90k and got some smoke.

brake booster is useless imo, better to just spray carb cleaner there. if you want it cleaner do crankcase. it burns up almost instantly when u do it in the tb,
