    Intake, exhaust, lift. Typical stuff.
    Im assuming it would be more beneficial to clean the throttle body first then seafoam your engine next as apposed to vice versa... Thanks for the tips!

    2004taco, nice pics, thanks. Do you have any with the TB open?

    In California, they must have a CA smog certification, which is usually just a sticker from the manufacturer that states it is approved by CA for use.

    Finally! Right on, man! Thanks.

    Just another little tid-bit of info...

    If your T-body is real dirty pick up the T-body gasket and ICV gasket from the dealer and remove the T-body from the intake and clean it as well as the ICV.

    Its easier to get into all the nooks and crannies with the T-body off. I was having some warm hard start issues and it helped it a lot by cleaning everything out. Its still not perfect, but its a lot better.
