    I hear you shouldn't use that stuff in our cars.....but the only true "miracle in a bottle" that I've heard of from local mechanics is BG 44K. I used it in my Chevy 4X4, and it really helped.

    In no particular order.... All decent, some better then other perhaps. I've used Red Line and Motul.

    Red Line SI-1
    Motul Fuel System Cleaner
    Berryman's B-12 Chemtool
    BG-44K
    Toluene
    100+ octane

Toluene and Xylene in itself does a very good job of cleaning your fuel system, and also raises your octane as a byproduct. Next time at the auto parts store, notice the ingredients in some of the FI cleaner such as the Berryman's B-12 Chemtool, which has a concentration of Toluene as well as other hydrocarbons.

    Lately, I havn't cleaned my injectors due to the R&D process of my turbo kit and trying out different injectors. But it wouldnt hurt to clean your injectors out every 5k or so. Redline makes very good FI cleaner, but if you can get your hands on some BG-44K, that stuff works even better.

    Yeah, I figure the 112oct gas I put in my car does the trick
