I don't see that great of an improvement when used in the gas and oil. Especially since I use lucas and stp once a month in the gas, and engine restore in the motor oil.
What I do is let about 1/2 the can get sucked up through the PCV valve, and then I slowly pour the rest in the intake (air filter removed) until the engine dies from it. Then, I let it set for 10-15 min then start it up.

I added this in another thread, but it belongs here too: If some of you are trying to find an exhaust leak, this is an excellent way to find it since the smoke will be pouring out of the leak as well.

yea, burn up the old ones and show us a video.

I don't know why, but lately I've had an obsession with burnouts. There are some videos on youtube that I keep watching over and over that make me giggle and say "that's what I'm talkin about"

haha I just fear burnouts a little bit. I really dont want to be rebuilding the rear axle again..... Its a PIA and honestly not worth the cost for burnouts
on a happier note, have you seen the LS1 corvette with linelok doing a burn out?

corvette? that's a chevy. No I haven't seen it.

Since this thread is mostly about white smoke and now burnouts - this video is wrong on so many levels BUT I would like to do it at least once. and I will but it'll be another 5-6 years before I build a 408 Dakota.

I don't think (if I were the camera man), I would still be standing in the same spot at the 1.10 and 1.20 mark....

Years ago No Fear apparel had a shirt that my girlfriend got for me -

"If you're not standing on the edge, you're taking up too much space."

Now that I'm older, I don't wear it much but sometimes......
