Hvnt on a Cobra but i did use it on my 02 gt. cleaned her up good, and i actually felt a difference. After treatment and getting all that smoke out of the pipes you gotta driver a lil hard to get any remaining gunk and fluid out. Plenty videos on youtube of how to do it

Yep! And some in your oil as well. What i did was fine measuring bottle and poured the seafoam in there. Put 1/3 of the bottle in the gas tank, 1/3 in the oil reserve, then have a friend help you for the last bit with the vacuum line. Makes it easier. Let the engine run for acouple minutes then turn it off. After bout 5 mins turn it on and rev the engine several times. Depending on how many miles u got or well maintained ur engine is your cars gonna smoke alot from the pipes. Rev it for a few minutes till the smoke starts clearing and then let it idle for a bit. (you can rev more this is just how i did it)
Then enjoy your newly cleaned engine (:
Oh and drive a lil harder next time you drive after seafoaming. Just to make sure you get everything out. Maybe 10-15 minutes of driving and youll be good to go

I will never add it to my oil.

It thins the oil out and can cause bearing damage. If you put some in the oil id put a very small amount.

While you are pouring the sea foam in, have some one kill it right before you finish pouring it in. For best results.

Should I record the process on how to do it? Cause I'm sure someone out there like me is looking for a guide on how to seafoam the cobras.

No. Turn the key. You don't want to stall it.
