Anyone using the JOE GIBBS Fuel Injector "Additive"?
Is this some "miracle" chemical?

Fill up at Chevron all the time and you don't need to worry about any additives. The Techron in it will keep the injectors clean.

I started using it a few months ago after I read that Charles Navarro (LN Engineering) says he recommends it. That was good enough for me.

Never have used this before. I will look into it. However, If the LN guys reccomend it then I'd assume its a safe bet. I did use seafoam top engine cleaner, and I surprisingly did notice an improvement in my car.

Not a fan of Chevron fuel, (might be just local) but additive works great.

I use it in everything I own, I look for it on sale and stock up.

The car felt smoother, and it felt like it had more power. I had a friend who had driven it prior and noticed it too, not as much as I did but I think it was placebo on my part. He didn’t know about the Seafoam at the time.

According to Jake's bore scoring videos, Shell V-Power is the shizzle.

I may give it a go (been on my to do list since I got it running) but need another set of hands/feet correct? I think I read to spray into intake at 2KRPM's right?
