I'd be sure to read up on the +/- and risks for Seafoam.

"ZHP is a garbage option anyway- just some cosmetic upgrades with a different cam and diff to claw back some of the performance lost fitting those hideous and heavy wheels. Any 330 with a 3.46 diff will smoke a ZHP every time. The whole Mafia thing reeks of childish behavior." - an e46f member

Is seafoam even necessary for our cars, I thought that was an E9x+ thing with the FI and DI...

I used the "F" shaped vacuum line that goes into the upper intake boot. I've used it on a bunch of my vehicles without issue, but the ZHP was the least phased by it going in (normally they stall or want to), and had the hardest time running after the 20 minute wait. It did clear up after a minute or two of a lot of throttle, and a lot of smoke.

Lol. That's ridiculous

And that's supposed to be all built up carbon and other grimy deposits that's being burnt off??

LOL I don't know. My car did run better during the cold starts and it felt like it accelerated smoother first thing in the morning with no hesitations. I don't think I'd bother doing it again though. I'm not sure if it was coincidental that a short time after I needed to replace my pre cat O2 sensors or if it was just time.
Now I'd just use the ATF fluid in the crankcase flush before I did an oil change. Which I've done with my past ZHP and my current car.

The best I've ever heard about sea foam is "I think it kinda did something?" And the worst I've heard is "don't ever use it."

Excellent, I guess I'll upgrade to that from my previous engine cleaner: snake oil
