Default Seafoam or B12?

I was wondering what you guys prefer to run in your Hondas. I, for one, have never seen satisfying results with Seafoam, which could be due largely to its intended purpose as a gradual cleaner, and my impatience. I pretty much swear by B12.

Almost any product ment to be introduced into intake via a vac source and a drip method will work almost every time if done correctly. I do prob 10 cars a week at work and major diff can be see from mpg gain, or throttle response.

I guess I could have been more specific. I use it as a fuel treatment. Never tried the Air Intake specific ones.

I've noticed a great increase in power and fuel economy after running some b12 through the system. To me, it seems to clean the fuel lines and injectors pretty well. Just important not to get it on your paint, or the next day, you'll have some paint-colored powder on top of bare metal. lol

Hate to break it to ya but you will not "feel" increase in hp. It will not make 10+ hp just by using that b12 stuff. 10hp is minum can possibly "feel". You will feel an increase in throttle respose and mpg. But that b12 or anything introduced into fuel tank or vac source will NOT add hp your engine.

Of course it won't add power. What I meant that you can feel the power that it restores, that hides behind the sludge and gunk in the engine. I feel like I shouldn't have to explain that. It's pretty obvious.
