Default Adding seafoam directly into cylinders

Is it possible to seafoam the engine by pulling the spark plugs and adding them directly into the cylinders on a cold engine than pulling the brake booster vacuum tube?

I wouldn't try it if it were me. You'd be leaving yourself open to some major damage from hydro-lock and at a minimum fouled spark plugs. Inducing that stuff through a vacuum line where it will disperse properly is the safest and preferred method.

If a combo of all these whizz bangs met their claims you'd have to syphon gas out of your tank every second day and sell the excess horsepower on the third????

Plus it's easier than pulling 8 plugs.

My neighbours love the black smoke when I use the Seafoam throught the Vacuum line. I would not pour it directly in unless you cranked it over with all the plugs out to make sure it won't bend a rod.
