I think I may do this actually I have a donor motor that was just installed in my truck feels a little slugish sometimes, so it's definitely getting the Sea-Foam treatment along with my girlfriends Civic.
It's going to be hoot driving down the highway with a puff of white smoke trailing the truck almost like a huge blunt on wheels.

My friend read about it on a honda forum, and we put 1/3 can in his accord in the booster line, his car had over 200k miles on it, and it smoked insanely. It started up fairly easily, smoked for about 10 min, and smoked the whole way home to his house, which is about 5 miles...was fun! haha
I put some in my 4.0L ranger and it smoked a tiny bit, it only has 48k miles. I had the EGR engine code so I figured it may clean some carbon out of somewhere and maybe get rid of the code, but it didn't. It does make the engine run better though.

With engine warm, slowly pour 1/3 to 1/2 pint through carburetor or throttle body throat. (If vehicle is port injected slowly pour SEA FOAM through direct manifold vacuum line that will feed all cylinders, possible sources are P.C.V. valve or brake booster line.) This will pull SEA FOAM down on top of the pistons and to the back of the intake valves to dissolve carbon. Turn ignition off. Restart engine after 5 minutes. If severe carbon build up is apparent, use more Sea Foam as previously directed. Make sure exhaust is well ventilated when using Sea Foam in these various ways as fumes will be extreme for a short time.

There seems to be some confusion here...
The brake booster is "powered" by a vacuum coming from the intake manifold. As the air rushes past the opening for the brake booster line, it goes down into the engine, pulling in all the air behind it. This creates a vacuum in the brake booster line.
Remove this line from the BRAKE BOOSTER, leaving it still connected to the engine. Once the engine is running, you'll notice a loud sucking sound from this hose. Use that suction to ingest the SeaFoam.
