I have a question for someone that KNOWS 100% what they are talking about. I was going to just do this but I don't want to mess anything up as I know this could go wrong pretty easy.

I have attached pictures of what I think would be a good place to spray the seafoam I just got, I already did the intake cleaner, no fumes but I scraped off a good amount of :q:q:q:q, looks clean and i did notice a little better response.

So my main question, is this ok to detach with the car running? (the hose that goes from the intake and looks like it hits a valve for the brakes, then the booster, then the master cylinder.

I'm not a certified mechanic but I've done this plenty of times to my cars and my friends cars. With the LS it is a little bit harder to reach those brake booster lines I just put it in that one intake tube that you are talking about. You can run your car without it attatched but not for a long time as it won't perform well. But you are only goin to suck the all of the seafoam up and once that is done you turn the car off and let it sit for a while. Then attatch it back to the intake tube and start the car up. Just rev the engine up until you burn all of the seafoam out, you should see a little bit of smoke coming out of the exhaust. That is the carbon being burned out i would assume, but anyways that's what i did and it worked. And im not claiming anything special in using this but it doesn't hurt to clean your engine out a little bit. And I've noticed in all the cars i've done this too i've notice better response.
 
That one should work fine. As long as there is a strong vacuum.
Just stay away from hoses that have electric components in the path between the seafoam and the intake. (I.E: evap. can. purge valve, vacumm solenoids, etc.)

Nick, can you repost the pics please? I want to give this stuff a shot, it has been kicking around my trunk for about a month now.
