anyone used seafoam before?
I'm planning on running it through the gas tank and later the engine oil when I'm ready for a change. Anyone done this? How about sucking it in through a vacuum hose? Did that on the vette and cleaned out a bunch of crap.

It magically gives any car an extra 50 HP!
It's just a petroleum based cleaner that cleans and lubricates the fuel system (when poured in the tank), engine top end (when sucked through and appropriate vacuum hose), and engine internals (when poured directly into the crank case). It can also be used to safely clean the throttle bodies. It has not solvents and no undesirable effects of solvent based products.
And it makes really cool thick noxious smoke billow out of your tailpipe when you suck it into your upper cylinders.

Just in case anyone missed my obvious (so I thought) sarcasm, I was indeed joking about adding 50 HP. Here's the sarcasm smiley to prove it: 
It does however lower your coefficient of drag significantly, hardens the soft clear coat, fixes excessive negative camber, and brings low end torque up to neck snapping levels.

Got some in the tank now. Before the next oil change I'll fog the engine and run some through the crank case and then I'm gonna put a catch can on it.

Manuals always say that. Your not gonna hurt anything. I drove 365 miles today with seafoam in the tank and made a few 70-120 runs with no issues. It's actually running and sounding better than it has in a while.
