Nope, not from what I can tell. Between the tune up last night, and the seafoam today, I think its running pretty good. I'm just confused as to why it didn't smoke haha. Maybe my jeep didn't need to be cleaned out. Oh well.

If you really want it to smoke then put the seafoam in then turn the engine off and leave it in the driveway for 10 minutes, when you come back out start it up and give it some gas.

The other thing that you can do is pour just a bit of seafoam into each cylinder through the spark plug holes and let it sit overnight. Some people will be afraid of hydrolocking but I can tell you that doing this with a full can on a 4-cylinder (1/4 can per cylinder) worked just fine, if you're still worried about fluid lock you can vacuum it out before starting it. Unfortunately this wont be as effective on a v8 as it is on an I4 because the pistons are sitting at an angle but it should get the motor to smoke quite a bit.
