By stock I mean any API GL-4 or GL-5 75W-90. No need for any fancy stuff like syncromesh or anything like that. I wonder what brand the dealer uses?

Hoss is gonna be there too. I'm sure there is a DIY somewhere on the Seafoam, it can't be that hard though.

"I used the Seafoam, The method is the same with a couple of exceptions. There is no need to pump it into the intake nipples
1. Pour 2oz of Seafoam into a cup
2. Attached flexible tube to nipple (not yours, the car's!)
3. Other end of the hose in cup
4. follow all the other steps


The intake creates enough vacuum to pull the Seafoam out of the cup. Just "start" the car 10 seconds at a time. I found after the 10 seconds the cup would not be completely empty but the vacuum would continue until the cup was finished
"

**edit**

Hey thanks for coming by Hoss, TBK, Grungepup, and VS8. BHR install went smooth as could be. I still haven't hit the 1,000 mile mark so I can't get on it but as soon as I do, I'm doing a oil switch to 0W30 or 0W40 and hitting the dyno.

I want a get a good baseline on my car to see where I'm at that way when I get the AP I can see what power can be made.

Thanks again guys!!! Can't wait for the next one as soon as my rear rotors come in and my Lebren Dually and dipsticks lights.

Coils are working great!!!. I'm almost to 1,000 miles and then its oil change time and 9krpm time!! I can definitely feel the power in my butt dyno up to 5-6k. I hope my dyno numbers do not depress me.
