Uuuh, seafoam sucks, can clog your exhaust system, and any plug, the ac delco ones are fine

I have a gutted cat and still wouldn't put seafoam thru it. I just don't see the purpose. Change your oil often, run fuel injector cleaner thru the gas tank from time to time, and do your tune ups, you'll be fine.
I don't know the part number for the plugs, but I did the ac delco iridiums, or you can do the ngk ones which are the same because they manufacture them for delco. Just stay away from bosch plugs.

i ran seafoam through my oil and pcv. car gained a little pick up back. i'm guessing my cylinders were getting a little carbon'd.
thats the only reason i can see using it. gas tank... meh. too expensive. injector cleaner will be just fine. but for cleaning the TB/oil areas... it seems to do the job.

I used it and really like the product. I wouldn't use it often but with moderation. I tend to keep my oil check and fluid levels where they need to be. I have ran seafoam through the oil, gas tank, throttle body, and transmission, and haven't noticed any issues.........yet, and this was summer of last year I used it.

The air goes to the same place that the fuel does, thats why its called combustion

You could always disconnect the vaccum line at the brake booster and let the vac line suck it in.

its ok, because this liquid (seafoam) is a combustible cleaner. it'll dissolve any carbon you have built up, then burn off when the cylinder combusts.
You can't put WATER through there, cuz it doesn't combust or compress. hence.. hydrolock.
going through your PVC line goes to the same spot, just bypasses the TB... and all your TB is, is a valve to let air in and out as per your gas pedal.
